CHA Sneak Peeks Day 4

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 our designers' posts throughout the week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession!

I added a few more sets to my collection of layered flowers - two rose sets and sunflowers...


This hexagon base made the stamping so easy in the MISTI - I could keep the stamp in the same place for each layer, and just rotate the card (I should have masked and done all 6 sides, but I'll save that for another day.


I love the detail in these roses. Aaaaand I forgot to write down the colors I used... so sorry about that. I know the base red is Versafine Satin Red - I love that ink. So vibrant, and it dries quickly - my favorite feature of the Versafine line. The words here are a die cut - love all the flourishes!


Products used: Rose Set 2, Thank You die

I wanted to make a second card to encourage those who might be afraid of layering stamps because it looks complicated or you're afraid to 'miss'... For this card I used the second, fourth, and fifth stamps in the set with generous amounts of water to give myself some wiggle room. Since it's a faux watercolor look, there's no need for precision.


I love the way this ink bled into the background, and again, I didn't note what inks I used.... I'm guessing Distress though, because of the way it feathered.


The Vintage Postcard set is another one that you may have or recognize from past designs. It has a few tiny updates, and I'm so happy to have it in my collection at Impression Obsession! 


Stamps I used: Rose Set 1, Vintage Postcard clear set

  57. Beautiful roses, so realistic with their layering! I love your faux watercolor roses!! How & when did you apply the water to do that? I love your rose set since I love roses and have been intimidated in coloring images of them so I love the concept of the layering, no line design for ease and such a realistic look! I'm excited for the sunflower set too, another fav flower of mine!
