Today's Impression Obsession challenge was to make a Valentine's Day/Love card. It is also a bit of a sneak peek in that it allowed me to show you some of the images that will be released at CHA.To make the card, I stamped the Wavy Line Heart (F8625) onto 90lb watercolor paper using black Versafine ink. I knew I wanted to play with the open heart because it has just enough space to highlight a saying on the inside. I colored the heart with watercolor crayons and a waterbrush, allowed it to dry and then stamped the saying on top. The saying comes from a really nice clear set called Fabulous Friend (CL318) that is loaded with all kinds of great friend sayings. The flower that I popped up on the card is from the same clear set. The background is a new Cover a Card stamp numbered CC081. It is so new that the name isn't listed yet!
Feeling the love and need more inspiration? Check out what Daniela, Deborah, Dina, Jeanne, Jenny, Julie, Kathy, Kelli, and Shirley created. Be sure to visit the various blogs since many of us chose to use some of the new stamps.
