Impression-Obsession Summer Release Celebration - Day 3



Welcome to Day Three of Impression-Obsession's 


You will find a list of participants each of the three days on the Impression-Obsession blog at 6 AM.  

All of our design team blogs will have a 

$25 gift certificate to give away for this event.

All comments for all of the event days will be open 

until Sunday, May 5th, at noon CT.  

Winners will be announced on Monday, May 6th.



You can find the new stamps HERE.  They are available now.


The minute I saw this bird in the branch, I knew I had to have it!  I have always had a 'thing' for flowers, and it seems I have also taken a liking to bird images.

Stamps:
Bird In Tree G23033
Life Stuff Sentiments CL491
Sympathy Sentiments CL114

I stamped the Bird In Tree image onto bristol vellum card stock, and colored it with Polychromos colored pencilsI colored lightly and slowly, due to a broken wrist.  I had talked about this in my previous post here.  My coloring process and insights are explained in that post. 

I added some spatters of distress ink to the background, and then the 'with heartfelt sympathy' verse from the Life Stuff Sentiments stamp set.  A strip of patterned paper finish the image panel, which I had added to a green card front.


Inside:  I added a verse from the Sympathy Sentiments  set over a brushed distress ink background, along with some of the same pp and a strip of the same green as my base card.
