Impression Obsession Sneak Peeks - Day 2

The Impression Obsession team is showcasing new images for the Fall/Winter season! You can visit the I.O. Blog each day this week for links to the previews. Be sure to leave a comment on the I.O. Blog and each designer's posts throughout the week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession!

**If you normally play along with our challenges, this week's challenge is to create a holiday project-
any holiday will do! There's another chance to win for you! :)


This card was a fun experiment using watercolor mediums on glossy photo paper. I'm still experimenting but I'll put together a video soon when I have more figured out. For this card I used Brusho, dye inks and watercolor markers. The photo paper takes an indelible 'print' of the inks, which really works well with the dynamic motion of the watercolor powders and makes layering fun. The colors are so vibrant, too.


I have some brush words in this release - just a couple of larger rubber stamps and a clear set of mix-and-match holiday words for a fun variety of greetings. I'll have more in the next release - if you have any requests please let me know!


Stamps I used: Brush Poinsettia Large, Thank You, Snowflake Flourish, Cover-a-Card Diamond Maze
