Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream!

It's Day Two of Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream !

For today's card, I used the Let It Snow clear stamp set. Isn't this snowman image funny? It just cracks me up. :) I used the Snowflake Cuttlebug folder to create the frame. I smeared white craft ink all over the inside of the Cuttlebug folder first. The result is this "frosted" look. I colored the scene using Copic markers and added some Polar White Flower Soft for both the snow on the ground and "falling snow" that I added.

Here is the schedule for the rest of the week so you can check out what the rest of the Dream Team has to show you!

Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream!

It's Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream and the Dream Team has some wonderful eye candy to show you!

For my card today, I used the Partridge in a Bare Tree stamp. I used a sentiment from the Let It Snow clear stamp set, both from Impression Obsession. This image is so simple and sweet. You can easily color the stamp with markers so that the bird is a different color. I used the Labels 4 Nestabilities to make a frame for the image and used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss the frame. For a finishing touch, I added some Polar White Flower Soft to the image.

Quick and Simple

When I first saw some of the new stamps from Impression Obsession, all I could picture was a super simple card like this. How much easier could it get, right? I stamped the image using Ocean Tides ink and then stamped the sentiment using Onyx Black ink. I used watercolor paper and tore the front edge of the card and sponged some Ocean Tides ink on it. I plan to make a few cards sets as gifts using this card. They will be finished in no time!

Apparently this stamp is sold out over at Stamper's Dream right now, but I will let you know when Michelle plans to have more in stock. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope your week is off to a wonderful start!

Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream!

This week is Impression Obsession Week at Stamper's Dream! The Dream Team will be featuring some of the latest releases from Impression Obsession.

For my card today, I used the Water Mill Cling stamp. It's not my usual "cutesy" image, but I just loved it when I first saw it. I originally started off making a card with no coloring at all. . .just this image framed in some way, but then I started coloring and ended with a totally different finished product. I used watercolor paper and stamped the image in Burnt Umber Palette ink. I used Stampin' Up ink pads and an Aquapainter to color in the image. Then I cut another piece of watercolor paper and cut an oval from it using my Coluzzle to make a frame. I distressed the frame with scissors and ink and mounted it over the colored image using dimensionals. You can't see it very clearly in the picture, but the colored image is recessed a bit within the frame. A very simple, aged card that makes me think of "old times".

Be Inspired #30

What a fun inspiration piece from Beate this week! (the bag is from Belle Bags as shown on http://www.shysiren.com/) I thought I had patterned paper that would work, but I couldn't find it, so I had to punch circles of different sizes out of different colored cardstocks. I used the Margaritas clear stamp set from Impression Obsession. You can find this set at Stamper's Dream. After I placed all of the punched circles, I stamped the sentiment on the Pacific Point cardstock. Kind of wild and funky, huh? :)
