Fly Away!

Hi all! Time for another Impression Obsession sneak peek! Some of the designs I've been showing off this week are fresh off the presses and are being shown at the CHA trade show in Chicago! So, the design team is kicking off the fun by showing you some of the ways you can use these new stamps! And.. if you comment on the designer's blogs, you could be one of the lucky winners of a $25 gift certificate to the IO store! Just click HERE for all the details!

On to my creation, which is part of a challenge too -- the theme is Fly Away! I feel a little like superman -- but is it a bird, is it a plane? You be the judge -- just use something on your card or creation that flies!

These stamps were a blast to use just knowing they were created by fellow designer Dina Kowal -- these are some of her beauties! Don't you love them? I stamped the word "SOAR" and the Birds on Music stamps in black and then stamped the birds a second time using red -- cutting out just one and laying it over top my main image. I love that pop of color! Add in some fun black and white patterned paper and some rhinestone swirls and -- that's all it takes to create this one! Easy peasy!

Do you want to see what some of the other IO designers whipped up with this Fly Away challenge? Soar on over and see....

    7. Julie, what a remarkable card! Love how you have the tweet birds "soaring" in their music. The red bird surely has the more melodious voice -- or is he the one who squeaks? LOL - thanks for sharing another marvelous creation!
