Welcome to the Impression Obsession 2018 Summer Release Hop!
If you've come from Karen's blog, you are in the right place. If not head the the Impression Obsession blog for the start of the hop
I have created THREE cards for you today! The first one is in celebration of our graduating daughters, nieces, etc..... I used a daisy embossing folder to add texture and the idea of freedom. I stamped the sentiment Potential D17246 in versamark and then used Copper embossing powder and heat it. I used some copper paper and die cut the girl grad from the die set called Grads Jumping DIE295-R. I actually die cut the image from the center of the copper paper as it was going to be hidden by the white panel. :)
My second card I created SO fast. I used my Stampin Up water color wonder crayons, you can use the different crayon/distress/ supplies, and simply swiped the red then blue on my water color panel then used my water color pen and blended them out. I dried the panel with my heat gun and then used the Flag Girl Silhouette E13688. I stamped it in the IO Hybrid black ink using my MISTI. I stamped it several times as watercolor paper likes to absorb ink.
My last card is just a fun card to celebrate Summer! Summer should ALWAYS be DRAMA FREE!!!!! SO, I created a fun sunny background using designer paper and sequins, die cut out some fence panels using the Lg. Fence DIE149-U , Cute Sign E7970 and No Drama B7947.

Terrific cards - all! I appreciate the tip on saving paper by using the background sheet to cut out that great image = genius! And that die cut is SO joyful; I want to jump up, too. Ha! The second card gave me goose bumps - what a glorious homage to America! I'd love to use that for my 4th of July cards. Finally, the fence card says it all - a message we should all hear once in awhile! Thanks for sharing!

I'm such a sucker for silhouette cards, especially graduation cards, and I really love yours in copper!!! I'm making quite a few graduation cards this year and next as I have a junior and he has several close friends that are seniors this year. I love this sentiment too!!! I currently don't have any girls to make grad cards for though, dangit! Maybe he'll have a girlfriend next year.
