A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! The challenge is Clean and Simple Holiday Greetings! Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!
In case you don't think my sample is quite clean and simple enough, how about this version?
Or this one!? *grin*
To make my card I used the beautiful Snowy Branch Cardinal image. I stamped the image on watercolor paper in black StazOn ink, and painted him with various colors of Distress Ink. I chose a pretty designer paper from my stash. I embellished the card with layers of die cut pine branches from the Pine Sprig Cluster die set, topped with a pinecone button. Oh! And I added a pretty white cyrstal glitter to the patches of snow caught on the tree branch. Oooooh, sparkles!
Find all the details on how to enter the challenge on the Impression Obsession Blog. A random challenge entry will be selected to showcase on the IO blog and you can to enter to win a $25 gift certificate to IO just by playing!
Now, get ready for a wonderful dose of inspiration and check out what the other team members created for the challenge. Have fun!!
