Impression Obsession March Team Favorites

The IO Team is back today with a little hop to share our favorite cards from this month's release, so here's mine! If you're already hopping and you came from Anna's blog you are in the correct place. If not, head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for the start of the hop so you don't miss anything!

I love when a card turns out like it works in my head! Remember the long brushed arc stamp? I stamped Distress Oxide inks with it to create this rainbow! Ink the stamp, then mist before stamping to create this faux watercolor look. I love the way this ink pools.

I didn't have the right cloud dies so instead I used a wave die set and created my clouds out of the negative cuts. Here's what the die looks like, and my links are listed below! Fun, huh?

I've got some fun and sort of random additions to this release - here are a couple that are designed specifically for slimline cards, and there's one more brush stroke in there as well. This one was inked with 3 Oxide inks, then misted lightly before stamping - I used my finger to blend the colors where they met for a little rainbow effect.

If you love slimline scenes, you'll be excited about the additions to the line in this release - this cottage scene is so detailed and fun to color! I had this rectangle die cut left from another card, so I decided to do a spotlight technique in blues. My coloring is done with Copic markers and I splattered a little gesso over the scene for additional snow effect.

Impression Obsession September Release Hop Day 2

Welcome back for another day of projects using brand new Impression Obsession stamps! All new stamps are available HERE! We are kicking off the month with a 2-day hop, showing off the new releases - today is day 2! Head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for the start of the hop so you don't miss anything!

There are a few new slimline designs in this release - this card is simple but I was really pleased with how well the barn stamp worked in the background! Product links below. I wrapped some twine around the card, then did a 'silk wrap' knot to hold the ends... sometimes those jewelry making skills come in handy at my other desk! Lots of ink blending in the background, and I used a blender pen to pull some of the ink up into grassy strokes.

Impression Obsession July Release - Team Favorites

The IO Team is back today with a little hop to share our favorite cards from this month's release, so here's mine! If you're already hopping and you came from Anna's blog you are in the correct place. If not, head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for the start of the hop so you don't miss anything!

This is a mini slimline card, and it was so easy to make! I started with a pale yellow card base, so no ink blending needed. I stamped the rays in yellow, then the lighthouse image. Base - done! The sentiment is  stamped on a die cut and folded over the top layer.  I love this sentiment - I think we all can relate to seasons of life. Keep hanging on!

P13996 Lighthouse

P13997 Rays

Impression Obsession DT Theme: At the Beach

The Impression Obsession team has some projects to share today featuring a beachy theme. I mixed my sandcastle stamp with Nola's little ladies on this card and was sort of impressed with myself!

For the background I did some masking and inking for the sky, then added horizontal streaks with a pencil and with an eraser. The water is stamped with the new Water Texture stamp for... well... water texture. The sandcastle image has some added pencil highlights and shading. Fun, huh?

Impression Obsession July Release Hop Day 1

It's time for a new release from Impression Obsession! All the new stamps are on the site now and you can check them out HERE - I'll wait! This month I added a few beachy slimline stamps to the mix - I hope you like them! Another fun thing about this release is that I have a new image code! You might not have noticed, but up until now all my stamp images have started with "13" - well, now they start with "22". That means I have over 1000 stamp images in the IO catalog (and that doesn't count sets and background stamps)!

We are kicking off the month with a 2-day hop, showing off the new releases. If you're already hopping and you came from Anna's blog, you are in the correct place. If not, head over to the Impression Obsession Blog for the start of the hop so you don't miss anything!

Instead of a slimline card, I used the lighthouse stamp for a regular A2 card. I started with yellow orange cardstock, masking a horizon line for the ocean and a circle for the setting sun. I brushed a little orange ink lightly against the edges of both masks, just enough for contrast. 

The birds are a separate stamp - looks like I got a little extra 'squish' when I stamped them! Oops! The sentiment is stamped on the largest sentiment banner die cut from the slimline set - I will link that up below.

Keep hopping for more inspiration - I hope you'll see more samples from my collections on the other blogs!
