Impression Obsession: Designer Hop Day 3

Welcome to the third and final day of the Impression Obsession 2015 Fall/Winter Release Blog Hop! Over the next 3 days we will be sharing projects made with beautiful new stamps, and there will be gift certificates given away each day! Yay!

For my card, I chose to use Winter Goose along with the sentiment Thank You. I stamped the image in black Memento ink on kraft colored cardstock and colored it with ShinHan Touch Twin markers. This is a single layer card - easy on the postage for mailing!

Blog Hop Details:
The hop will start each day (July 15th - 17th) 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! Visit for Impression Obsession Blog for complete details.

All of the new stamps you'll be seeing on the hop are available now! Visit the Impression Obsession website for details.

Welcome to day 1 (of 3) of the Impression Obsession 2015 Fall/Winter Release Blog Hop! Over the next 3 days we will be sharing projects made with beautiful new stamps, and there will be gift certificates given away each day! Yay!

For my card, I chose to use the cute Snowstar Girl along with the sentiment Be Merry. I stamped the image in black Memento ink and colored it with ShinHan Touch Twin markers. I die cut several Holly Leaf Cluster leaves for her hat and to embellish the sentiment, and added cute little red gems for the berries.

Mix-Ability Challenge: Doodley-dooo!

I am hosting this week's Mix-Ability Challenge in the challenge forum at SplitCoastStampers! The challenge is called Doodley-dooo! (Mix128) The challenge calls for you to add your own doodles to your project.

I stamped the bee, flower, and sentiment using the You Make Me Happy cling mount set from Whipper Snapper Designs, and drew in the chicken using a Sakura Micron pen. I also drew the lines at the top and bottom of the image panel. Quick and easy!

The idea behind the Mix-Ability Challenge is to make mixed media simple and approachable, and to let you experiment using things you already have. Each Friday a new challenge is hosted, but there is no time limit, so you can participate whenever you'd like on each challenge. Join us, won't you!?

Supplies
Stamps: You Make Me Happy from Whipper Snapper Designs
Dies: Scalloped edge from Impression Obsession
Paper: Neenah; Pink Paislee Hello Sunshine; Stampin Up! Basic Grey
