Impression Obsession Designer Spotlight

Hello IO Friends!!!! It's my turn to be in the Designer Spotlight!!!!  WOOT!!!!!

I'm sure that everyone is still in the Holiday hoopla so let's create a SUPER fast and easy card, it uses four (4) stamps but is SUPER simple.  With the help of my MISTI, I used D20374 Holiday Bow, F17201 Pine Branch, F20371 Painted Bell and F20366 Silver Bells.  The DIE594-J Season's Greetings which I cut twice, once in red glitter paper and once in black and overlayed them a bit off to get the shadow.

Impression Obsession Hybrid Inks Turf, Shamrock, Cherry, Black along with some wink of Stella.  I used my bone folder to create texture in the ribbon by curling it.

I hope you enjoyed this card and it was SUPER easy! 

IO Challenge ~ Invitations

Hello Impression Obsession friends!!!!  Today starts a new challenge and you are "Invited" to play LOL  #seewhatIdidthere  This challenge is about invitations of all kinds.  I created TWO cards for you!!!!

The first one uses Boo Balloons (WP774) the matching dies (DIE570-Y) and the Let's Party (CL710) sentiment set!  The mask was stamped in IO Hybrid inks, heat n stick then glitter.  Some green wire was wrapped around the card base.  I then added a handle to the main mask that was also glittered some more wire for a tassel and some small pearls.

Card number 2 uses the Painted Pumpkin (F20347), Cup of Sweet Succulents (CL775)  there are also dies that match and the Halloween Words (CC217) along with IO Hybrid inks.  Also making an appearance is the Gift Card Pocket Die (DIE604-XX). 

The cover a card was stamped up with IO Hybrid inks, masking off the 31 (peeking under folder).  I then took a smaller card pack from my stash and ran it through using the GC die.  Stamped the Painted Pumpkin on the front, then added an invitation card  after stamping a succulent and fussy cutting around for the "pull here" handle.  Invitation deets can go on that and then a quick little note inside.

Thanks for popping in!  Here's a list of the other team members creating today!

IO Spring/Summer Catalog Hop

Welcome to the Impression Obsession 2017 Spring/Summer Release Hop!

We have some beautiful new stamps and dies to share AND a Gift Certificates to give away!...

Today I'm sharing my card using the new Hybrid Inks as my coloring medium.  I have to say that 4th of July is my most favorite holiday!  The Sun, Fun and Family...not to forget the BBQ!!!!!!  :)  OK SO!  I snagged my Cover A Card stamp sets in CC131 We The People and CC246 Grunge Flag.

I stamped "Grunge Flag" first in Taupe Hybrid ink, then grabbed Cherry and Lapis hybrid inks.  I smooshed them onto an acrylic block and grabbed a water color brush and a small bowl of water and colored up the flag.  Heat gun to dry.  Stamped "We The People" in Slate Hybrid ink.  I then used D13552 Bored Silhouette in Black Hybrid ink and stamped it at the bottom.  I colored in a small area of sky in Sea Glass Hybrid ink and the grass in Shamrock Hybrid ink..  Distressed my edges and popped the water color panel up on dimensionals.

**TIP**

If you use your acrylic blocks as an ink palette make sure to clean quickly.  Being Hybrid inks they were pretty stubborn to get off of my block, not quite Staz On stubborn, but they didn't sit very long....
