Today is the first day of a five day Spring release celebration for Impression Obsession, and I hope you enjoy the inspiration! All of the new images you will see on IO designer celebration posts January 7th - 11th are available now on the Impression Obsession website. The card I made for today features Big Bear (D15152), Flower Garden (CC350), and The Way You Are (C13377). I used Impression Obsession black hybrid ink and colored the bear with soft pastel alcohol markers.
I layered the bear image (which I hand cut) over a stamped impression of Flower Garden. I added a layer for the sentiment, added a few paper roses, twine bow and ta da!
Find all the details on this release on the Impression Obsession Blog.
Visit the Impression Obsession site and check out all of the new images. Which one is your favorite? Let me know! I will be giving away one $25 gift certificate, drawn at random from comments left on my celebration posts (there will be five posts - a comment on all five posts means you will have five chances to win the gift certificate!) Comments will remain open on my blog posts until Sunday January 13th. The winner of my $25 gift certificate will be announced on the Impression Obsession blog on Monday, January 14th.
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!

Super sweet and fun card! Fabulous layers of elements.

What a great combo of the new stamps!!! Super cute! While I love the new flower sets, and new funny stamps like Pretending, my FAV from the new stamps is the CAC Cable Knit! It is a must have for my stash!!!

I would never have thought to use a flower background and it works so well and is really striking behind the bear.

That bear face - I just want to give him a big *squeeze*! The colour combination is great - no guy would object to receiving this card (or gal, of course). One of my favourite stamps in the new release is 'bunny love' :)
