Just Rosy With Impression Obsession and Arteza

Wintery greetings and a happy Friday!  I decided to go with lots of luscious color for my card today, on a blustery, cold day here.  

Impression Obsession stamps/dies links:
Just Rosy F20825
Textured Chevron Cover-A-Card CC396
Sock Bunny Set CL1002
Pretty Pitcher WP962  (background foliage)
DIE965-Y Small Tags
All Things Rosy C20662  (Inside)

INSIDE**INSIDE

On a white A2 card front, I stamped the Textured Chevron with Abandoned Coral distress ink, using my Misti so that I could get a good, crisp image.

I stamped the Just Rosy image onto a white card stock panel, and used Arteza real brush pens and a water brush to paint the image.  I masked off the colored image, and stamped some background leaves, using the foliage from the Pretty Pitcher set.

I added a tag from the Small Tags die set with foam tape for dimension.  Some simple stamping, and the All Things Rosy  verse finish the inside.

I am adding my card to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, where the theme is Anything Goes.

That's it for today.  I wish you all a fabulous weekend!  Be sure to take time to do something you love!

Blessings,

Hey Chickie Card With Dies And Patterned Paper

Hello, friends.  I have something a little different today for my Impression Obsession die card.  The adorable animal dies (chick, bunny, and lamb) are fun to use, and just so dang cute!  I chose the chick for today.

DIE962-J Chick Frame

DIE965-Y Small Tags 

CL491 Life Stuff Sentiments 

For my card, I cut the Chick Frame die from white card stock and from the pink pp.  I used daubers and distress ink to 'color' the chick, and added the eyes and beak.  

I stamped the 'Hey Chickie...' verse from an older IO set, and added the panel to the card, along with a pp plaid panel behind it.

I cut the Small Tags die from a white cs scrap, and stamped the sentiment from the Life Stuff Sentiments set onto the tag, then added it to the card front with some twine.

That's it!  Fun, easy card for a blustery day.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  See you tomorrow for my final card in this series.

Blessings,

More Mushrooms! Cutting Dies From Watercolored Paper

Hello again!  I'm back today with more 'shrooms from the spring Impression Obsession die release dies.

 

Inside

DIE944-C Mushrooms
 DIE174-W Greeting Set 


For the mushrooms, I created a smooshed watercolor paper, using distress inks and water.  When it was dry, I used the mushroom dies to cut the mushrooms. 

I created a background with a stencil from my stash.  I placed the die cut mushrooms inside a circle die cut, then onto the stencil background, then onto an A2 card.

Inside, I created a stenciled background, and added some of the mushrooms.

I hope you enjoyed this card, and the one I made yesterday.  Tomorrow, I'm moving on from the mushrooms, and using some of my other spring release dies.  

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate your comments and visits.

Blessings,

Fungus Amongus! New Mushroom Die Set From Impression Obsession!

Oh, I'm smitten with these mushroom dies from Impression Obsession!  They're so stinkin' adorable.  I'm putting them on everything!  Somebody stop me!  Funny thing is, I don't like real mushrooms.  Never liked the taste or texture.  But these guys, well, they just make me smile!

INSIDE

Stamps/Dies Links:
DIE944-C Mushrooms 
DIE826-Z Grass Borders
DIE038-J Grass 
B17265 What You See


I had so much fun creating this card!  I used some patterned paper that I had in my stash to make an A2 card.  

I added the Grass Borders die cuts in layers along the bottom of the card front. 

I used distress inks to colorize some watercolor paper with browns, using the smoosh technique.  When it was dry, I die cut several Mushrooms from the piece I had created.  I added these die cuts to the card in the grassy area.  I also added a tuft of the taller Grass die.

I added some 'shrooms' and grass to the inside to carry the theme over.

I used Ranger Archival ink to stamp the What You See verse.

I hope you like my card today.  I will be back tomorrow with more inspiration from the new dies.  

Thanks so much for visiting, and for sharing your comments.

Blessings,

    DIE948-L Snail
    DIE971-V Stitched Tag #4   
    CL492 Warm Fuzzies Sentiments
    CL1002 Sock Bunny (Inside: You’re beautiful) 

I cut the Snail die and the Stitched Tag die, and adhered the snail to the tag.  For the card, I attached a gray panel to a white A2 card front, then a piece of purple pp, then added the tag with foam tape for dimension.  I used a black Micron pen to add eyes to the snail.


I added a purple ribbon bow to the tag for a little embellishment.  I stamped the verse from the Warm Fuzzies Sentiments, layered it with the purple pp, and added it to the card front.  This sentiment set is one of my go-to stamp sets, one of my faves!  There's a verse for just about everything!

Cat's Outta The Bag Card With Arteza Everblend Markers

Happy 'hump day!"  I have a card today, featuring some of the new Impression Obsession stamps from the Spring release.

Impression Obsession stamp links:
WP1012 Farm Fresh clear set 

CC395 Shiplap Cover-A-Card

WP981 Silhouette Kitties 

I started with a kraft colored A2 card, and stamped the Shiplap Cover-A-Card  in brown ink. 

I stamped the elements from the Farm Fresh clear set  set onto white bristol card, and colored them with Arteza Everblend alcohol markers. I fussy-cut the colored pieces, and attached them to the card front.

For the verse, I used the same Farm Fresh clear set, and stamped it onto a white scrap, distressed, and added it with foam tape for added dimension.

Before I get to the inside of the card, meet Bella, my cat, who inspired my card today.  
She's always getting into mischief, just like this sweet little kitty coming out of the bag!  
This is her 'I don't know what happened here innocent look' after we found the kitchen sponge shredded to pieces all over the dining room floor!
 

Inside:

I stamped the cat from the Farm Fresh clear set and the verse and paw prints from the Silhouette Kitties set.  I drew a frame around the verse with a fineliner Arteza marker.

Enjoy the rest of your week!  I'll be back tomorrow for Impression Obsession's new challenge, Tag You're It!
