Have you heard?
Impression Obsession has their own line of hybrid inks! The color groupings are wonderful making them perfect for using with layering stamps!
Dina Kowal has designed this fabulous Sketched Rooster.
The yummy ink colors used here are Canary, Orange and Cherry.
To showcase this beauty, the All-in-One Frames Rectangle were used. I stamped the Scribble Checkerboard Cover-a-Card onto the frame using IO's Black ink.


The Rooster here was stamped in Goldenrod, Orange and Cherry.
Check out the image that was stamped on this frame..it's NEW! The beautiful Cover-a-Card is called Wallflowers.
