Hi all! It's day three of the Impression Obsession Sneak Peek week -- showcasing some of the brand spankin' new stamps that are hot off the presses and ready for stamping fun! These stamps are a part of IO's fall and winter line up and are being showcased this week at CHA! And... you could win a $25 gift certificate if you comment on the designers' blogs each day! Fun!
On to my creation!
I have to admit... this stamp is actually two stamps -- the berry was stamped and masked and the leaves were stamped over top to make it look like a holly branch. The stamps are called Berry Sprig and the leaves are called Holly Branch. I loved coloring this up and think it looks so elegant together! I used a mix of Copic markers, shading and then sponging on some Antique Linen Distress ink around the die cut image (with the die still on). Add some decorative paper with stitched accents, lace trim, some seam binding ribbon and a vintage brad and... ta da! I love the classic look!
Julie Koerber.... you are here!
Thanks for stopping by! I'll be back again tomorrow with some more IO fun, so be sure to stop back -- you could win a $25 gift certificate! For all the details, just hop on over to the IO Blog for the official rules of how to win! Have a fabulous and creative day!

Wow! Those berries look so realistic. This is a gorgeous stamp.
Combining the 2 stamps was such a good idea. I love the look of the card and the coloring is so sensitive.
Two stamps? You'd never realize if you didn't read your comments. The berries just look amazing! Love the classy, elegant look of this one!

The holly branches look so lifelike on this card. But I especially love the border around the oval die-cut. Really draws your eye to the berries! Beautiful card.

Nothing says Christmas like red and green - and holly! You did a great job combining the berry sprig and holly branch.
I love your mix of papers - pretty neat the way you used the two stamps together. A holly branch loaded with berries. It's going to be a cold winter!
