IO Preview Week!

Hi all! This week (the 18th through the 24th of July) is Impression Obsession's CHA Summer Preview week of some of the New Images that will soon be available... to YOU! Each day, different team members will be showcasing new designs. And, 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 know this probably doesn't look like a fall card but -- the stamp I used is called D-8616 Fall's Flowers by Alesa Baker and-- I just chose to show you how versatile it is by doing it in a fun purple and teal motif! To make my creation, I simply stamped it on some white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it up with Copic Markers (YG13, YG03, YG00, V04, V01, BG10, BG000, BG0000, E33). I cut my flowers out using a Spellinders' Classic Oval and matted it onto a Classic Scalloped oval. The paper is a mix of scraps I found in my scrap bin. Add some scalloped edges thanks to a Grand Scalloped Circle Nestabilities die and.. almost done! I added a bow out of cotton linen ribbon, added a button and some stitching and voila!

This stamp gives options for stamping fall wedding or shower invites. This stylization has appeared in so many recent weddings! Way to go, IO.
