Impression Obsession DT Challenge: Happy Birthday!
The Impression Obsession team's challenge today is to create a Birthday card! We're also participating in a birthday party blog hop for Operation Write Home - all the details for how you can be involved today are on the I.O. Blog! They are celebrating all month and we are fortunate enough to be able to start off the party today!! If you aren't familiar with their organization, they send handmade cards for our troops overseas to use and send home to their loved ones.
I pulled out an older image (Twist Cone) for my card, watercolored it, and paired it up with a sentiment from a new clear set called Let Them Eat Cake. My ribbon was dyed with reinkers.
Be sure to check out these other designers' blogs for inspiration, and don't forget about our hop today -
