{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Pick a Holiday…any Holiday }

Hello and welcome to the our Impression Obsession challenge – Pick a Holiday…any Holiday .

Here is my card.

spring greetings by Daniela Dobson

For this card I used Flower Greetings and L20424 Watercolor Dots for the background. I used Color Burst to created a card base using three different colors. I stamped the main image in black ink and added Nuvo Crystal Drops to a few flower centers. I stamped the sentiment on a clean piece of cardstocks, cut it out and used 3D foam squares for dimension.

{ Impression Obsession DT Thursday }

Hello, it is my turn to share a card with you today created using Impression Obsession stamps.

Here is my card.

Thninking of you by Daniela Dobson

For this card I used Country Floral Set and Floral Heart Background. I stamped all the flowers and leaves on white cardstock with Impression Obsession ink and the fussy cut everything out. The polka dot strip is a left over piece of Deco Foil foiled polka dots.

Some of the flowers are popped up with 3D foam squares from Therm O Web for dimension. I tucked in a twine bow and scattered Nuvo Crystal Drops.

Thninking of you close by Danela Dobson

Both of these sets are perfect for beautiful backgrounds or fun clusters on your project.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge – Clean and Simple }

Hello and welcome to the our Impression Obsession challenge – Clean and Simple.

Here is my card.

Kindness by Daniela Dobson

For this card I used Watercolor Butterflies and that is it!! I think this is the fastest card ever. Now, I did layer some patterned paper and green cardstock. I stumbled upon a color challenge (Shades of Green SSC173) and it was all green and I loved it. So green it is. We have lots of shades of green ink at our Impression Obsession store. I did splatter green watercolor to finish the card. Awesome, right?
