Hi all! It's time for another
Impression Obsession challenge and this one -- is all about quotes and phrases. Kelli challenged us to make your favorite quote a focal point on your card. So... here goes!

I wanted my card to be clean and simple. I did, however, use a handful of stamps! I used the Cover a Card Distressed Courdoroy on the Background and stamped it vertically and then horizontally using Versamark watermark ink. I love the cross hatch look it created! After that, I decided to accent a corner using some of IO's silhouette stamps. I love these for the graphic impact that they have. I used
Silhouette 7 and
Silhouette 12 and stamped it in a medium brown (Vivid Taupe) and black (Vivid Black). Next came the sentiment! It's called
Love Life and I just stamped it using black ink. Add a punched border, a button and string and... just that simple!
Want to see what the other IO gals did to put a sentiment center stage? Just click on over and see....

It may be CAS but it is still beautiful. The sentiment is perfect Julie. :)
Clean, fresh, and a great quote!
I love this card. It is amazing how all of the subtle stamping really polishes the card up and makes it look sophisticated. The muted color combo looks great and I love all of the details you added, like the paper piercing and the scalloped edge. Thank you for sharing!

Julie, I love your card. It is so elegant, lovely colors and the background is perfect.
Simply elegant!
Ok, this is one of THE best examples of creative stamping I have seen in a long time. WOW!!!
I like the whole look, especially that backgrounder and how you STAMPED the flowers/leaves. I don't know why, but for some reason this morning I am VERY impressed with you. Probably need much more sleep...
