IMPRESSION OBSESSION CHALLENGE

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
Happy Thursday! It's time for a new challenge with IO!
We are getting a head start on the holidays and we want you to join in!
Have some fun, get creative and enter for your chance to win an IO $25 Gift Certificate. It's easy to join in. Need more info on how to play? You can go here to find all the details you need.

A little Christmas inspiration from the IO girls, check out their blogs!

Die cuts make for an easy and quick card, especially if making several.
I started by stamping Merry Christmas in IO's Chocolate ink onto Curious Cryogen. Once the ink was dry I used the Bead Adapt-a-Background die but, instead of cutting I embossed!
Gold mirror paper was used for the deer die cut. While this paper is beautiful in person, it's hard to photograph! I have dressed him up with some Holly and Berry Branches.

Be sure to check out all of the IO Holiday dies...so many to choose from!

Here's a list of the IO products that I used today




Thanks for looking and I always appreciate your comments!

 The school stamps from Lindsay Ostrom are great for teachers and students.

Remember last year when Dina Kowal created the fabulous Pug image?
Well, now she has Frenchie! 
Whether he is decked out for the holidays or touching a special spot in someone's heart...he is sure to bring a smile!



After stamping the full image, I stamped his hat separately and fussy cut. To get the dimension on his hat, I curved it using a ball stylus and Collall (silicon)  .
He is colored with Copics. The fur technique was used on his face and body.
Glossy Accents was placed on his nose. 


More dimension is created by adding die cuts from the Pine Sprig Set and the berries from Holly Leaf Cluster.


For the inside Warmest Wishes was used. I love the two fonts together.
Kalani Allred has many beautiful and fun sayings.
