CHA Sneak Peeks Day 2

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 chances to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession!


If you've followed my blog and stamp designs for a while you may recognize some images that have been licensed elsewhere in the past - I'm excited to give them new life and pair them with some new sentiments and images for this spring! This Grunge Cross and Single Cross are a great pair for layering - on this card I stamped the Grunge Cross using the MISTI Marbling technique (again! I love it.) then embossed the Single Cross over the top with black powder. The sentiment is a new one, honoring Elisabeth Elliot, who passed away recently - her story had such an influence on my life.

Stamps I used: Leave it All, Cross Single, Grunge Cross


Be sure to check out these other designers' blogs for inspiration, and comment for more chances to win!
