*********************************************

The Impression Obsession design team is showcasing cards that portray the place that we call 'home'. Most of you probably know that though our passport country is America, we live overseas. Last month marked 5 years here - we're so blessed!

One of the unique things about our house is this orchid my husband bought me for Christmas a few years ago - it lives over on the side of our house on the back of a coconut palm stump, and blooms regularly - in fact of all my orchids, this is the only one (so far!) that has bloomed more than once. My friends say this is a rare type, so that makes it even more special. I'm not sure what it's called... but here it is: Soooooo...........my card features the Impression Obsession stamp simply called "Orchids" along with the sentiment "Change the World". I have always loved that quote, and it's so appropriate for what we are doing here as well - enabling others to reach out to those around them by reaching out ourselves.

I watercolored the image with Derwent watercolor pencils, and the sentiment is stamped in Colorbox Dark Brown fluid chalk ink. Here's a close-up on the orchids:
