Impression Obsession DT Challenge: Stamp a wreath

The Impression Obsession team was challenged to make a wreath card using non-wreath-y stamps...I started another one but DH said it didn't count because the wreath didn't go all the way around...sniff...so I went with this idea instead - a coffee wreath. I'll share the other one another day, I guess. I used stamps from the "More Coffee" clear set by Sarah Phelps... funky little set I love. My wreath base uses a stamp from the Wreaths and Garlands Floral set, stamped with chalk ink. The cups and such are colored with markers, then shaded with Prismacolor pencil. The card base is Okinawa New Momishibo cardstock, which I found locally - it has such a neat texture and natural fleck in it.

Be sure to check out the rest of the team's creations as they post throughout the day - links are to the left! If you'd like to join our challenge by submitting your own wreath card made with Impression Obsession stamps, visit the IO Blog for details - that link is over to the left as well. :) Thanks for stopping by!
