Hidden Cabin...

Hi all! Another Impression Obsession's CHA Summer Preview for you today! All this week (18th through 24th of July), IO will be showing off it's new stamps at the CHA trade show in Chicago, and.... all this week different team members will be showcasing some of those new designs to you as well! Just for blog hopping and commenting, you could WIN a $25 gift certificate to the IO Store! How can you win? All you have to do is leave a comment on every team member's sneak peek blog post, and the I.O blog... every day! Just visit the I.O. blog each morning for links to the posts for the day!

On to my creation!



I have to say, living in Montana, you see these kinds of cabins all the time. This would be a perfect card for me to send to friends and family all over the world. Wouldn't you just love a hideaway where you could go inside, sit in front of the fire and watch the stillness around you? Ahhhh.... I would! This is one of Gary Robertson's new images called H1830 Cabin. Because Gary adds a lot of shading to his creations to begin with -- coloring is a snap! I colored this image up with Copic markers and actually just chose a light and a dark brown for the house, added some BG0000 for the snow, YG63 for the trees, accent with some glitter glue and.... done! The sentiment is an older one called Peace on Earth. I just punched it using a 1-1/2" circle, added some seam binding ribbon and... voila!




Here's a close up, you can kind of see the sparkle I've got going on here... thanks to some Crystal Stickles!


Want to see what some of the other IO gals whipped up? Just click HERE to travel over to the IO blog to see who else is showing off some new creations today! And, if you want to see some of the other new IO images, just click HERE to see the entire new Fall/Winter release!

    PERFECTLY PERFECT!!!! Let's go and pack! I'll make sure you have coffee...
    On a more serious note, I just LOVE this card and if it (or one very much like it) were to arrive at my house, I might just frame it!! Yeah, honey, that's a blatant begging. If you give me time to put on my knee pads, I'll even go down and grovel! Happy Weekend!

    I'm in love! I couldn't believe all of the gorgeous new stamps that IO has added from Gary Robertson, and this is one of my many favorites from him! This is so picturesque thanks to your wonderful coloring! Perfect way to add this fabulous sentiment! The ribbon accent could even be used for a masculine card.

    Always wanted a log cabin so this card is right up my alley. Love it and it is now at the top of my list to get. Your card brings me back to winter and helped a bit to cool me off this am. We are still in that heat wave in Upstate NY. Thanks so much for sharing. ekc
