A few words of encouragement...

Hi all and Happy Thursday! It's time for another Impression Obsession challenge and this one is all about sharing a little encouragement. All you need to do is pick up your Impression Obsession stamps and show us how you share these words of encouragement -- whether it be thinking of you, get well or a card to give someone a little pick me up! If you want to read more on the challenge, just click HERE!

On to my creation!


I have to say, this set -- Gardening  -- is one of my favorite IO sets of all time. It comes as a cling set and features not only the garden gloves and garden shovel, but a darling pair of garden overalls, a watering can and a sentiment too! After stamping my images, cutting them out and popping them up -- I wanted to have a more "encouraging sentiment" than just say --"Just for you" - so I picked up THIS one called Enjoy a relaxing day. I did color my images with Copic markers and used these numbers: C01,C03,C05, RV32, RV34, Y21. Y23, YG01, YG03, YG06. Mat it all up with the help of some decorative paper (a mix of BasicGrey, Making Memories and 7gysies), some fun ribbon, a punched border and a button and... voila!

You'll have to be sure to play along with the rest of the IO gals. You can always hop on over and see what they whipped up for the challenge!

    Love the colors on this one! Feels so country. These are darling stamps. That larger background paper makes me think of the old screen doors of my childhood. Great job and thanks for sharing, Julie.
