Impression Obsession August 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!


I love a quick-and-simple Christmas card, so I added this card-sized stamp to my line - this is a half-tone photo stamp that's super easy to stamp and color in a hurry! I stamped in dark brown Versafine Clair ink and watercolored over the top - the shading is built into the image, so it doesn't take much coloring at all! If you want to add shading, the image is made up of dots, so shade in where the dots are closer together. The image can go up the side like this, or create a top or bottom border. It looks nice tone-on-tone as well, without any coloring.
