Today is the first day of a two day Fall/Winter Die Release Celebration for Impression Obsession, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new products you see on our celebration posts today and tomorrow are available now on the Impression Obsession website. The card I made for today’s post features what might just be my favorite die from the release, Deer Frame.
I die cut Deer Frame from heavy white 110lb cardstock and carefully removed the negative space pieces from around the die cut design. I used various colors of brown ink to color the die rich shades of brown. For added visual texture and interest, I then stamped the image with the large cover a card stamp, Beauty Text. Next, I carefully inked the negative pieces of the die, making sure to keep some areas light in color, and some areas dark, depending on where they were going to be placed next to the deer. Once I was happy with the inking, I put the negative space pieces back into the die like I was putting together a puzzle. I added a hemp cord bow and old brass button on top of die cut pine and pine cone pieces I made with another favorite of mine, the Pine Sprig Cluster die set.
Find all the details on this amazing release on the Impression Obsession Blog.
Let me know what you think of my card! I will be giving away one $10 gift certificate, drawn at random from comments left on my Fall/Winter Die Celebration posts (there will be two posts - a comment on both posts means you will have two chances to win the gift certificate!) Comments will remain open until Noon Pacific on Saturday September 29th. The winner will be announced on my blog and the Impression Obsession blog on Monday, October 1st.
For a wonderful dose of inspiration, pop on over to the Impression Obsession Blog for a complete list of designers participating in this event. Enjoy the inspiration!

Anna, your card is absolutely gorgeous. Your color choices are perfect for Fall. I love how the text is stamped onto the gorgeous deer frame. I love how you’ve chosen to add interest by having the right antler follow the gold tone. So very pretty and interesting. Thank you for inspiring me to move from the colors of summer to the rich colors of Fall.
