Greetings! Welcome to the Winter Hugs Release Hop at Impression-Obsession. Would you like to win a $10 Impression-Obsession gift certificate? I have one to give away today! Just leave a comment below with your favorite stamp from this release...that's it. You have until Saturday, December 16th, at noon CT. The winner will be announced December 17th.
Now, on to my project for today.....
Impression-Obsession stamps and dies used:
VALENTINE BUN E13729
MY FAVORITE A13740
LOVE DIE271-D
For my card front, I stamped the Valentine Bun onto white bristol smooth card stock, and colored it with distress inks, using them as watercolor. I added some colored pencil details for shading and highlights with my Polychromos colored pencils.
I used the 'YOU' from a previous stamp set, Life Stuff Sentiments CL491. Then added the die cut LOVE - DIE271-D. Before adding the die, I brushed some distress inks on in ombre' fashion, and layered the die four times for added dimension. I die cut several hearts from various sets, including the center of this die, and colored and added them.
I added a couple of strips of patterned paper to bring in more gray and balance the composition.
And on the inside....
I hope you are inspired by my card today.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Lynda, I'm in love! What a sweet bunny and how beautifully you've used that image on this card. Honestly, the colours are amazing. Limiting the colours really makes everything about your layout pop. The shading is so well done and gives both the bunny and heart real dimension. Love that "Love". The perfect sentiment. And the inside matches so well. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
ReplyDeleteYour bunny was colored so skillfully....I am trying to learn....my favorite stamp is Chocolate Breakfast.
