Impression Obsession: Featured Designer

Good morning! I'm happy to be the featured designer for Impression Obsession today, and have a clean and simple card to share with you.

I stamped the Thoughtful Rose Bouquet image on white Neenah card stock and colored the image with ShinHan Touch Twin markers. I added ultra fine glitter to the flowers for lots of sparkle and shine! I added a simple sentiment banner at the bottom using the Flags Die Set and the Thanks Sentiments clear set. I embellished the banner with a mint green button with a white string bow. Easy Peasy!

Thanks for stopping by! Wishing you a beautiful day!

 

Supplies

Local Wild Elk Herd, Again!

Yesterday, my sweet neighbor once again gave me a quick phone call and let me know that the wild elk herd was down from the mountains. I grabbed my camera, hopped in the car, and popped down to the area she said the elk could be seen.

It didn't take long to get there, as I hadn't even driven a mile when I saw the herd. I was able to pull off the highway into the wide spot the state snowplows use to turn around in when they get to the Washington/Idaho border. I used my trusty, never leave home without it, Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8L telephoto zoom lens to take these photos, at the 200mm zoom setting. And, it was raining...

The herd was wanting to cross back over the highway and head back up to the mountains, but the cars that weren't stopping were spooking them from crossing.

They ended up turning around and going farther back into the field from the highway, and waiting to cross at another time.

You can click on the images for a larger view of the photo. Pretty neat!

Impression Obsession: It Must Be Love

A new challenge is being shared today on the Impression Obsession Blog, and I hope you join the fun! The challenge is It Must Be Love! Pull out your Impression Obsession stamps and/or dies, and join us!

I chose to use the Love Captured photo frame stamp and the sentiment Have Fun to create my card. The sentiment and images are stamped in black and red StazOn ink. I added snowman and snowflake stickers to the photo frames... what's not to love about snowmen!? *grin*
