CHA Sneak Peeks Day 1

The Impression Obsession team is showcasing some new images being introduced this week at CHA! You can visit the I.O. Blog each day this week for links to the previews. Be sure to leave a comment on our designers' posts throughout the week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession!


I'm so excited to share some of my new designs with you this week, and I hope you like what you see! I've added a few more sweet silhouettes to my line, so here are a couple of those! I created a background here first using Brusho powders on photo paper - I love how the powders react on the glossy surface, and stay vibrant without bleeding too much.


Stamps I used: Watering, CAC Bee Stitch, Bitty Blocks - Thinking

On both of these cards I used my MISTI to get a good dark impression - being able to stamp over and over again in the same place is so helpful for these solid images.


On the card above, I used another MISTI technique called MISTI Marbling - it's a fun way to get a multi-color impression, and it worked so well with this new background stamp!


Stamps I used:  CAC Crochet, Twirling, So Happy
