Another IO Challenge!!

Hi all! A couple times a month the Impression Obsession gals get together for a fun-filled challenge. This time, we were challenged to make a wreath using (of course) IO Stamps! And, you know what? You can play too! There is even a gift certificate there for the taking! All you need to do is visit the IO Blog HERE to find out the official details!

Moving on to my creation! As I was flipping through my IO stamps, THIS one called Circle Elements #2 hit me. I have no idea why - but when I looked at it, I saw a mod wreath that could take on a kind of retro feel! So, I grabbed some Lettuce and Meadow Adirondack ink and some Red Vivid ink and... I went for it! There was some cutting involved but.... I love the result!

I traced a circle on my white card stock and then stamped one of the images around it to form the base of my wreath. Then, on a scrap, I stamped another one of the elements from the sete in the darker green ink and then cut them out for the top layer of my wreath. Add some bling, a bow from THIS set and you're pretty much done! The rest is just layering paper, adding a fun corner punch and some green rhinestones!

I did want to show that the top layer of the wreath is popped up with some mini pop dots. On the bow, I added two layers of the pop dots. And that, my friends, is it! A wreath made from stamps found in the least expected place! Want to see what the rest of the DT whipped up? Visit....
