Good Monday morning and welcome to day 1 of the 2015 Impression Obsession Spring/CHA Release Blog Hop! The design team will be showcasing some of the new images being introduced this week at CHA! You can visit the Impression Obsession Blog each day this week for links to the previews. Be sure to leave a comment on each designer's posts throughout the week for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate daily from Impression Obsession.
My project today was made using Cozy Chair , Small Grass Border, Butterfly Set , Leaves and Stems and Tiny Flowers.
I started by stamping the image on watercolor paper using Gathered Twigs and Worn Lipstick ink. I used my waterbrush to lightly pull the ink out of the stamped lines to fill in. In addition I used reinker with the waterbrush to complete coloring the chair. I sponged Tumbled Glass ink in the sky area using my ink blending tool and sponged in Peeled Paint on the ground area . I attached the scene to the card base and layered a triple mounted frame over it.
I attached a few flowers to the scene with glossy accents using the Tiny Flowers and Leaves and Stems. I finished by adding the Small Grass Border a few butterflies from the Butterfly Set.
Today's hop list!
