Impression Obsession Fall/Winter Dies - Day 2
Welcome to the Impression Obsession Team Fall/Winter Die hop! We have some beautiful new dies to share with you, and prizes too. Keep reading to find out how you could win a $25 gift certificate and get a few dies of your own! We'll have samples to share tomorrow too, so please check back for more chances to win!
I actually made this background months ago when we were showing off my new succulent stamps, but it never made it onto a card - it was a perfect fit with Alesa Baker's new succulent set, which also has dies to match! The background is embossed with white powder, and I sure don't remember what I used to color it.
I used Chameleon pens and Color Tops to color the image - I'm loving this new addition to the Chameleon line, and I'll have more info about them later! I love that teacup, and I'm thrilled to have a die to go with it, and the mix-and-match succulents are so sweet.
Stamps and dies I used: Cup of Sweet Succulents clear set, Cup of Sweet Succulents die set, CAC Succulents
