Impression Obsession Fall Winter Release Hop Day 2!

The Impression Obsession team is showcasing new Fall and Winter images that are available NOW! Here's a fun collection I tucked in to the release that can be used year-round. 



WP1054 Layered Citrus
WP1055 Layered Lemons
C13948 Life Gets Sour

If you're new to my blog, then you may not know that I'm not only on the Impression Obsession design team - I'm also one of their artists! You can find all my stamps HERE. It's always fun during these blog hops to be able to share my stamps, some thoughts behind them, and some fun ways to use them. When I sit down to create a new release, I try to think of what kind of cards I want to send, and then fill in the gaps from there. 

WP1055 Layered Lemons
D13940 Zest for Life
I jumped on a citrus trend in this release - both cards above were created with stamps from new clear sets which both layer for more detail and depth, but can be used without layering as well. Both sets are full of fun lemon-themed sentiments as well (you can get them in red rubber too!). The inks I used are Impression Obsession's Hybrid inks (Banana, Canary and Goldenrod).



Here's a guide for how the lemons layer up - some of the sets will need a trim to separate the leaves into groups of three as well. This is a small pattern that can repeat for a background, or you can use it like I did above, turning the panel a quarter turn each time to create a wreath. You can also use just the solid layer as a background without the additional shading.

DIE1010 Coffee To Go
DIE930-Z Mid-size Frame

One more card using the first layer of the Citrus set as a background, and one of our new die sets! This is a coffee set, but I sketched in some ice cubes and made a takeout cup of lemonade instead.

Be sure to check out the other designers' blogs for inspiration - you'll find a full list of their names on the I.O. Blog! You're not required to comment on every post, but the more comments you leave, the more chances you have to win - each one of us has a $25 gift certificate to give away! Winners will be drawn Sunday July 19th at midnight central time and will be announced on Tuesday July 21st on the IO blog, so be sure to check back for your name!

Thanks for stopping by!
