Impression Obsession Old Is New- Embossed Mum Square

 

It's Old Is New Day at Impression Obsession.  Today we have chosen older stamps from the IO line to use on our projects.

 

IO Stamps I am using:

Mum Square F7816  

Grateful Heart D19620 (Inside)

 

Here is how I made my card:

• I created a background on watercolor paper with distress inks.  I used the smoosh method to add color to a craft mat, then dabbed the panel of watercolor paper onto the mat.  I repeated with varying colors until I achieved the coverage I wanted.
• When this panel was dry, I embossed the Mum Square onto the background with black embossing powder.  
• I added the block to an eggplant A2 card front.  I used a leftover strip of the panel to add a bit of interest to the left edge of the card.

 

INSIDE:  I stamped the Grateful Heart image with dusty concord distress ink onto a panel, distressed the edges, and added it to the inside of the card.  I added another strip of the background from the front.

We will be back tomorrow with the new Impression Obsession challenge for October.  It's a fun one, you won't want to miss.  Hope to see you there.

 

Thank you for stopping by today.  I appreciate your comments.
