CHA Sneak Peeks Day 5

The Impression Obsession team is showcasing some new images being introduced this week at CHA! You can visit the I.O. Blog each day this week for links to the previews. Be sure to leave a comment on the I.O. Blog and each designer's posts throughout the week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession!

Another collection released at this show is a fun mix of cowboy and western images. Thanks to Ellen for taking this picture in the booth at CHA!


Here are a few samples - these again are so fun and versatile, and work so well with the grunge and collage images released earlier this summer.

A CAS card inspired by those classic cowboy shirts...

A clean layout, watercolored image, with a mixed media/grunge panel featuring Woodgrain and Chicken Wire Cover-a-Card stamps, along with some new ones from the Cowboy collection...


Love the shine of Brilliance Copper ink over the acrylic paint.

Finally, a grunge stenciled background using stamps, Fluid Chalk and Brilliance inks, acrylic paints, and spray paints. This is another chalkboard-inspired image and favorite John Wayne quote. The star was embossed into the painted panel using a Quickutz die. I used the Chicken Wire Cover-a-Card stamp and also French Ledger, which I am pretty sure has NEVER been put away, ever.


I used a Quickutz Star die to indent my cardstock without cutting through - I just wanted the impression of the star there.
