I had so much fun playing with Ken Oliver's Color Burst that I made two cards for the hop!
I love the explosion of color you get when water is added.
The Cross Set is from the NEW release of dies from Impression Obsession.
Stick It is a favorite of mine when cutting dies. I love how it never leaves any webbing and really sticks...no glueing needed!
For the background I went a little "poof" happy with colors! I used Indigo, Violet, Pthalo Green, and Ultramarine Color Burst. I stamped Faith and Be Still with a white ink which gives a ghosting effect.
I heat embossed the Daisy Tile in Reverse stamped image from Impression Obsession. Lemon Yellow and Orange Color Burst from the Brights Assortment was used here. I then spritzed with water and the magic happened...a burst of color! Choose Happy is the perfect saying for this bright cheerful card.
- Stamps: Impression Obsession-Choose Happy C17073, Daisy Tile in Reverse E16160, Faith C17080, Be Still D17039
