 I had so much fun stamping the floral images around the edges of the Neenah paper that I ended up making 2 cards for today!

This design was framed using a die cut from the All-in-One Frames. The lilies and BG have been colored with Copics.

The flower images were stamped, colored and then fussy cut. This gave the top layer a little dimension.

IMPRESSION OBSESSION-DT THURSDAY!

HAPPY THURSDAY!

If you missed the Impression Obsession/Ken Oliver Blog Hop last week, be sure to take a look...there were some amazing designs using IO products and ColorBurst!

For today, I am sharing a gift box with 4 cards of encouragement. This is a super easy project to make.

 I used the NEW die Cross Set on the top of the box where there is a window cut out. You can see some of the first card through the design of the overlay of crosses.The die cuts were colored with a light rubbing of PanPastels. 

On the Faith card, the Grunge Cross and Cross Single images were stamped with a white ink. 

The butterfly pattern on the paper was repeated by using the Grunge Butterfly stamp. Once again I stamped with white ink which faintly shows the image. IO carries many great stamps that are perfect for mixed media and journaling. I love the one that is used here, She Discovered.

For the 3rd card I have stamped the Single Cross image again along with Accept What It Is.

For the last card in the set, Be Still and the Watercolor Butterfly were used. 

Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend!
