Impression Obsession Sneak Peeks - Day 3

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!

In this collection, I have several stamps around the theme of houses and moving - probably because we were hoping to move at the time I was designing... 


Since I was working on my Watercolor Powders tutorial and catalog samples at the same time, quite a few of my catalog samples feature techniques shown in the video. When I'm under pressure and my desk is a mess, I tend to work with what's out. Here's one card that you might recognize from the video -- the focal image is called Collage Houses and the pieces of those houses are also available in a funky little mix-and-match clear set!  


One more card with the new house stamps - thought this one would be cute for a new neighbor or housewarming party. The background was sprayed using a stencil - the chevron lines go all the way across the stencil leaving long openings, so I tucked my card through the stencil to use only a few lines.


I used my MISTI to do the repeat stamping of the sentiment - so easy to line up!


Stamps I used: Welcome, Key Background

    I recognize the reds from yesterday's IO post. Still looks good.
