Impression Obsession: Spring Die Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Impression Obsession 2016 Spring Die Blog Hop! For today's project I chose to create a garden themed card using the Farm Fresh clear stamp set and Farm Fresh coordinating die set.

I stamped the images in black Memento ink on white card stock, die cut them with the coordinating dies, and colored them with Touch Twin markers. I added a twine bow, topped with a cute brown button threaded with hemp twine, and a cute little "have a happy day" tag.

Blog Hop Details:
The hop will run for 2 days (March 24th – March 25th) with a list of participants on the Impression Obsession Blog each day.

Impression Obsession: Spring Die Blog Hop

Welcome to the Impression Obsession 2016 Spring Die Blog Hop! Today and tomorrow the Impression Obsession designers will be sharing projects made with beautiful new dies, and there will be two gift certificates given away! Yay!

For today's project I chose to create a strawberry themed gift tag using the adorable Strawberry Basket, Small Strawberry Bunch, as well as the equally adorable Strawberry Set. With a You-Pick strawberry farm across the road, I should get lots of use from these dies over the years!

To create my card I die cut the Bunny with Egg die set from white and various printed patterned papers. I added color to the bunny images with ShinHan Touch Twin markers.

I added faux stitching lines around the edges of the panel using my seamstress tracing wheel.

To make my card I created a beautiful wash of color on watercolor paper using three Ken Oliver Color Burst pigment powders: Indigo, Ultramarine Blue, and Alizarin Crimson. I used the newly released Easter Egg Set (Die395-J) to cut three beautifully "tie-dye" colored eggs. I added a gem to each one for a bit of sparkle and shine. The Easter Greetings (DIE256-N) sentiment is cut from black cardstock, and backed with Ken Oliver Stick It Adhesive, which worked perfectly for placing such a intricate die cut on the card.

Now, get ready for a wonderful dose of inspiration and check out what the design team members created for the hop. Have fun!!

Impression Obsession: Splashes of Color

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

To create my card I die cut the Rectangle 6-in-1 Frames die set from white and medium blue card stock. Using Yarka watercolor paints I added a watercolored sky to the background on watercolor paper. Once the background was dry, I added the die cut Reading Tree, bunny, and flowers from the Spring Wreath die set to complete this simple spring scene. I added faux stitching lines around the edges of the dark blue panel using my seamstress tracing wheel.
