Impression Obsession: Featured Designer

Good morning, good day!! As today's featured designer for Impression Obsession, I thought I would share a few of the new summer images soon to be available as red rubber stamps from artist Lindsay Ostrom. I stamped the images on watercolor paper and painted them with watercolor paints. These girls are super adorable!

Watch the Impression Obsession website and blog for updates on when the new release will be posted! It's a GREAT release, and I think you'll be excited to see all of the great new artwork.

Impression Obsession: Happy Hellos

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

To create my card I stamped the floral image and Hello onto cream colored card stock in Memento black ink. I colored the image with various alcohol markers. I added faux stitching lines around the edges of the card using my seamstress tracing wheel, and adhered a few red gem stones for a little sparkle and shine.

Rise & Shine!

Happy Friday, and hello almost-weekend!

I have a fun card to share with you today. The Impression Obsession designers are sharing projects made using using Perfect Paper Crafting product today. Using the Mini Perfect Layers ruler and The Perfect Little Cutting Mat I added 'perfectly' measured mats to this printed Rise & Shine Coffee image I wanted to use as the focal for my card. I jazzed things up by adding die cut flowers and strawberries using the adorable Impression Obsession Small Strawberry Bunch and Strawberry Set.

Using the Perfect Layers ruler and cutting mat made creating mats for the focal image a breeze. The ruler has various measurements of raised edges you can place along the edge of your focal image. You use a cutting blade along the metal edge of the ruler to cut a perfect mat, each time. The Mini Perfect Layers ruler is a great length for cards, and the "minimal" amount of space I always seem to have available to work in on my table. Ha!

Be sure to visit the Impression Obsession Blog and the Perfect Paper Crafting Blog today to see all of the other projects being shared!
