It's a Costume Party!

Hi all and happy Thursday! Are you ready for a little costume party? Impression Obsession is! In fact, that's the theme for today's Impression Obsession DT Challenge! 

So, how do you play? Make a card inspired by your favorite Halloween costume! Are you ready to see mine? Actually, it wasn't *my* costume, but my daughter's. A few years ago, I showcased this fun picture one of my best friends took of my DD out in front of our house....


I just adored the way she jumped for the photo and you'd swear she was flying! ;-) So, when I went to create my card, I knew just the stamp set I would reach for! It's called Witch on Broom by Sarah Phelps and the sentiment is called Every Day with You. Here's a peek!

I stamped my little witch with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored her up with Copic Markers and used these colors: C7, C5, C3, V04, V06, YG00, YG000, RV02, YR04, YR07, BV00, and BV000.Then, I accented with a little glitter glue and a little white gel pen. I also used a few Spellbinders dies and picked up the Wonky Rectangle and Labels Twenty Three.  Add some gingham ribbon and paper piercing and... voila!


Here's a closeup! 


Want to play along in this fun-filled challenge? It runs through next Wednesday, October 12th. You can check out all the details HERE! And, while you're hopping, be sure to check out what the other IO designers have in store!
