Day 2: Obsessed with Impressions
Today's prize is from Impression Obsession! I don’t know about you, but if I’m obsessed with something, I want to see it more than once! So your challenge for today is to create a card with a repeated image. Create a border, a background, a scene? Whatever you want…as long as one of your stamped images appears more than once.
Come back to this post and leave a link to your card creation in the comment section below. Your card and link must be posted by January 9th at midnight EST.
Prize: Our favorite entry will win a large (CL or WP size) clear stamp set of your choice from Impression Obsession.
Bonus prize: Head over to Impression Obsession's online store.......pick any category to the left and tell us your favorite stamp in that category in a comment on this post. There are over 1500 images in the catalog, so no fair picking the same stamp as someone who commented before you!! A name will be drawn from these comments to receive a MC sized clear stamp set - winner's choice!
I chose to work with the Rose Full Bloom image - such a gorgeous rose, and a great size! I stamped and masked the image several times until I had a full garden. The saying is framed by flourishes from the Solid Florals clear set. My roses are colored with Prismacolor pencils, and blended with OMS.
Go stamp!
O, sorry Dina! Happy Birthday!!! I realy like your blog! I do great job!!!! Love from Russia
ReplyDeleteWOW, I can't believe how many butterflies they have! I immediately fell in love with the Japanese Butterfly... http://impression-obsession.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=D4292&Category_Code=BFLY

Oh wow - I had no idea they had so many wonderful images! I can tell where I am going to be spending some $$$ this year! LOL! My favorite image of theirs is a little clear set - Mistletoe Mouse. I have seen it before and just love it.

I won't be able to play in the challenge, but thanks for giving me a chance this way! ;0)
P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Oh no! Don't tell my husband that I found another great site with stamps I have to have. I love the large parfait in the birthday category. It's so versatile and it's calorie free!
ReplyDeleteWhile this card is not as elegant as your beautiful rose card (how do you do it???)...it definately has a repeated image :-)

Dina, Your card is wonderful! I love the sentiment that you used. Here's the card that I made with a repeated image. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1180774?nocache=1
ReplyDeleteI used the small flower from the SU! Heartfelt Thanks set create the background, along with using the Itty Bitty Background stamp repeatedly also.
I also checked out the Impression Obsession Gallery and my favorite stamp in the Word category is 'Blessings Abound'! Thanks for giving us these chances to win prizes. I love your blog.
Well... I used made a card using both challenges. Hope that's ok...if not, disqualify me. :)
ReplyDeleteHere's the card again
Apparently the IO website is down right now...keeps telling me it can't reach the server. I'll try again in the morning.

Here is my Challenge #2 card. The main heart stamp is the stamp and I used it to stamp all over the background.

I did it! But my computer locked up -- still dealing with the trojan horse - before I finished, augh!
