A little color from the IODT!



The image here is called Wintery Day. By using several fall colors the image has taken on a different season. This was colored with Distress inks and watercolor pens directly onto the rubber. Using the MISTI makes this technique possible! 
The row of green trees were stamped first. Using watercolor pens, the tree trunk and limbs were colored next. After those were dry, I painted random splotches of color were leaves would be. Taking a paintbrush, I dabbed a little water on the leaves to soften the lines. Next the image was stamped with Versamark, clear ep and heated. The sky and ground were also watercolored. The sentiment was stamped last.

The bg was made using the stencil and dropping alcohol inks onto Yupo paper. After drying, I dripped a few drops of colorless blender which added some lighter spots.
I love this quirky saying, "MY OWN WORLD"  from Impression Obsession. This is one of many fun designs from Yvonne Blair that are perfect for pairing with stenciled backgrounds.

IMPRESSION OBSESSION CHALLENGE

SPRING IS IN THE AIR AT IMPRESSION OBSESSION!

March is here, it's Thursday and Impression Obsession has a new challenge,"Think Spring"!
Join in and play along with us for a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate! To get all the details you can go here to the IO Blog.

Let's see how the DT is "Thinking Spring"!
Karen Amidon...that's me!
Kittie Caracciolo
The background was created using the Small Butterfly Trio. They were stamped with Distress Ink onto a painted background I made. I have chosen the, "Like the Sun" stamp that was designed by Kalani Allred for my sentiment. The Gumdrop embellishment is from Tim Holtz and has been colored with one drop of alcohol ink!

The Fancy Butterfly Die was used on the inside.

PUDDLE JUMP!

I loved playing in the rain and splashing water while Puddle Jumping. This is another fabulous silhouette from Dina Kowal. I have stamped the image onto vellum with Wendy Vecchi's new Archival Ink in Sky Blue. It was then heat embossed with her matching embossing powder. IRL the blues really do match! The daisy is a NEW die from the Large Spiral Flowers. These flowers are fun to make and go with the smaller Spiral Flowers.

Inside

A sweet card to send to someone to let them know that they are your Sunshine!

 Thanks for looking!

IMPRESSION OBSESSION-WINTER CHILL

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
 Want to start off the new year with a little "Winter Chill"? Play along in the Impression Obsession Challenge! It's easy and you might be the lucky winner of a $25 Gift Certificate! Just create something new using IO stamps and or dies, throw in a little chill and voila, easy peasy! You can find all the details on the IO Blog.   

Take a look at what the girls came up with!

Karen Amidon...that's me!


So, it's not the typical snowman or mittens for my winter chill...I thought I would deal with the "chill" with a nice hot cup of Java!! I prefer staying warm! 
The background stamp is actually a "sneak peak" from the new Spring Release called Coffee Time. It has been stamped with Distress Inks. I have used the cups and beans from the Coffee Die Set. The word "JAVA" was made with the Alphabet Set. A little jute brings it all together!

Thanks for looking and stay warm!

IMPRESSION OBSESSION~THANKSGIVING WISHES!


It's Thursday which means time for a new Impression Obsession Challenge! Get ready for the holidays and share with us your Thanksgiving Wishes! As always, a $25 Gift Certificate to the IO Online Store is up for grabs! It's easy to play along, just use your IO stamps or dies and enter! All the guidelines can be found on the IO Blog here.

Here are your links to the Thanksgiving Wishes!

Karen Amidon...that's me!

Today I am sharing with you two projects both using the same Thanksgiving sentiment, "A Special Time". The first one is a card made using  Leaves Die Set. These dies cut beautifully and the veins in the leaves are so detailed. The coloring on the leaves was created by using distress inks. I broke down the fibers in the paper by using a ball stylus, this also gave the leaves their shape. 

My second Thanksgiving Wish was created using a burlap panel. I have embellished the sentiment with several different die cuts. The leaves are from the Oak Leaves and Rake set. The branches were cut from the Reading Tree. The sweet pumpkins and apple are from the, "Pumpkin Patch" and "Bushel of Apples" die sets. The background has been airbrushed with a Copic marker the color of pumpkin pie, yum!

 Thank you for taking time to look!
