IODT/Cardmaker Blog Hop

Today the Impression Obsession design team is joining up with the CardMaker team for a blog hop - thanks for stopping by! If you're a regular reader of my blog and just happened upon my section of the blog hop, you may want to head to either the IO blog or CardMaker blog. If you should happen to get lost or interrupted along the way, you can always go there for a complete list of links in the correct order. Impression Obsession will be hosting a giveaway of a $25 gift certificate, so be sure to catch the details on that too!


 If you came to my blog from Daniela's blog you are doing just fine. 

 My card is a quick and simple one - this large bloom was easy to color and packs a real punch! I laid in a base color on all the petals using Touch Twin Markers and then pulled out some shading from the flower center with a darker color.

Stamps I used: Abstract Zinnia, Making a Difference

 From here you're going to be visiting Juliana Michaels over at 17turtles! Thanks for stopping by to see me! 

Thanks for stopping by!

    I'm all for fast and simple. Love the purple shades of this card. This is the type of card that you can make multiples of super fast and leave the sentiment spot blank for when you need a card.
