Let the IO Fun Continue!

Hi all and welcome to day two of Impression Obsession's DT and FAN BLOG HOP! It started yesterday and continues through this Friday as a way to show off some of the new goodies are now on Impression Obsession's store! So, what is this hop all about? Well, each day the IO DT shows off some new stamps and you could win a $25 gift certificate each and every day!! All you need to do is leave some love in the form of a comment on each of the designers' blogs! You can click here to head on over to the IO Blog to find out all the details!

On to my creation! 
I just love Alesa Baker's designs and this Lilac called H8731- Lush Lilacs. I paired this image up with one of the sentiments in the Zenspirations series (called Greeting Card Sentiments ) and a fun Cover a Card background (called Script)! While this Cover-A-Card background is an older stamp, don't worry, there are a gazillion new patterns coming out! And... they are fun!

Card tidbits: I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored my flower up with Copic markers and used these markers: B61, B63, B66, YG00, YG03, YG06, and BG0000. Add some paper piercing, a sentiment on a punched frame, some bling, fun ribbon and.... ta da! The paper is a mix from my stash ... so, not really sure what it is! :-) The Cover-A-Card was stamped on some light blue decorative paper using Aqua  Vivid! ink. On my main image, I added a pinked border with some ancient decorative scissors -- I hardly EVER use decorative scissors any more, but in this case, I think it worked! ;-)

Want to try to get your hands on some fun new images? Just hop on over and see these ladies and be sure to leave some love in the form of a comment!

    Really pretty card! I love the script background behind! You always highlight the best stamps, always ones that I would love as well (although, don't have the resources to buy them all :)!). Thanks for sharing.
