Impression Obsession Summer Release - Day 1

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

I'd like to share some of the stamps that I designed! The summer release is a great one for patriotic stamps, so I have included a couple this time. You can find all my stamp designs HERE.


With so much going on here, I've missed just playing at my desk, and I really enjoyed working with this new background stamp (CAC Grunge Flag) - I stamped it in grey Stazon ink, then watercolored using Brusho powders and Distress Crayons.


The silhouette image was embossed in white, and then I did a little more watercoloring and stamping around the image to make it stand out more.


Stamps I used: CAC Grunge Flag, Grunge Map Clear Set,  Gears, Flag Crew Silhouette
