Impression Obsession - August Team Favorites

The IO Team is back today to share a favorite card from this month's release, so here's mine! Head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for all the links so you don't miss anything. All the newest releases can be found HERE.

I love everything vintage, and this lantern is such a favorite - I based the die design off of one of my red rubber stamps (you can see it in this blog post). Lanterns bring guidance and hope, don't you think? I used solid cardstocks for my lantern design, adding shading with alcohol markers.

The background was created by inking a watercolor paper panel with Distress Oxide inks, misting the panel, then laying a stencil over the panel until it dried. This is one of the layers from the Layered Candy Corn set. I think that is such a cool effect! I have a tutorial for the technique HERE.
