More newly released stamps from Impression Obsession!

Hi all! It's day three of the Impression Obsession DT and FAN BLOG HOP! What does that mean? Well, it means sneak peeks at fun new stamps from IO and chances to win some yourself! Each day there's a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the IO store. What fun! You can click here to head on over to the IO Blog to find out all the details!

Part of the hop is taking a trip to see some of the new stamps that are being released this week at Winter CHA in California courtesy of IO's design team.

On to my creation!
Leigh Hannan has such a crisp and clean style and I really love that about her images. So, when I saw this whimsical image called Flower Cart J2442, I knew I wanted to color it up. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored it with a mix of Copic Markers. I used R24, R27, R29 for the umbrella, YR14, E08, E97 for the terra cotta pots; C3, C5 and C7 and T2, T5 and T7 for all of the grey areas. Then, I used a mix of all colors to color up all of the flowers. Add some Kaiser Craft Miss Nelly paper, some red gingham ribbon and a little Making Memories button threaded with twine and... ta da! I did some paper piercing and added a border thanks to a Martha Stewart punch. Easy peasy when you have a great image as a centerpiece!

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 for a chance to win!

Hey, Julie! Popped in earlier to enjoy such lovely flower card spring inflections only to pop out to Daniella's and then Ali's and now back here where you have tallied thirteen comments on this wonderful card/ release image. Are you at CHA having the time of your crafting life?! Ice melt is giving way to more tan grass and black asphalt plus police monitoring the Old Laurel Road overpass at Central with tenacity. Keep Looking UP! mt23stamperatyahoo
