Welcome to day 4 (of 5) the 2014 Impression Obsession Fall/Winter Release Blog Hop! The IO designers are sharing projects made with beautiful new stamps, and gift certificates given away each day. Yay!
The card I'm sharing today features Pumpkin Pair, Bountiful Blessings, and the Happy Thanksgiving sentiment. Click on the image for a larger view!
I stamped the image on watercolor paper in walnut Distress Ink, and painted the image with various colors of watercolor pigment. Once the image was painted and the paper dry, I stamped both sentiments in varying shades of brown Distress Ink.
Blog Hop Details:
The hop will start each day with a list of participants on the Impression Obsession Blog at 6am EST. Each day, visit the Impression Obsession blog. Then, hop along to see participating IO Design Team projects. Leave one comment on each blog you visit. The more blogs you visit (and comment on) each day, the better chance you will have to win a $25 Impression Obsession Gift Certificate.
Every day (Monday, July 28th – Friday, August 1st) one of the participating blogs will be chosen randomly and a winner will be selected from comments on that blog at 10pm CT. The winner will be announced the following day on the Impression Obsession blog, along with the participating blogs for that day.
Two prizes will be awarded on the last day of the hop. One will be for Thursday’s comments and another will be chosen from all the comments left throughout the week. So, if you miss a day or time deadline your comments will still count for a chance to win a $25 Impression Obsession Gift Certificate. Both Thursday winners will be announced on the Impression Obsession blog on Friday.
Both Friday winners will be announced on the IO Blog on Saturday, August 2nd.
All of the new stamps you'll be seeing on the hop are available now! Visit the Impression Obsession website for details.
