New IO Summer Release Hop - Day 2

The Impression Obsession team is showcasing new Summer images that are available NOW! You can visit the I.O. Blog all this week for links to the previews and ALL the challenge details. Leave a comment on our designers' posts throughout the week for a chance to win $25 gift certificates from Impression Obsession! If you just happened on the blog hop because you're a regular reader of my blog, you can find a full list of participants at the end of my post. If you're already hopping and you arrived here from Daniela's blog you're doing just fine.



I have some more silhouette images to add to my stamp line - here's the girl grad, and there's a boy as well. For this card, I just stamped the image onto a piece of wood-grain paper, added a quick penciled shadow, and layered two die cuts over the top. So simple!


This next card is one of my favorites from this release's samples - I used Tara Caldwell's Sand Dune image lightly in the background, then masked with paper edges and sponged  to create the scene. I live in a lake area, and I think this would be a fun card to sell locally!


This third card was very simple to do with a stamp positioner - I did shoot a video of my process, but haven't had time to finish it yet, with preparing for an art show this weekend. I'll get it done and out to you soon! I used Zig markers to color the flag.


IO products I used: Grad Girl Silhouette, Congratulations die, Fishing Silhouette, Believe in FishingSand Dune, Flag Girl Silhouette, Celebrating You
