The challenge also allowed me to make a card using the new Impression Obsession dies. Yes, that's right. IO now has dies! The dies coordinate with IO stamps and give a small border around the images. I like that I don't have to cut out the stamps (especially butterfly antennae), and I like that the small border lets the images stand out from the background paper or patterns. Speaking of patterns, I finished the card and then wished I had used a really pale green Cover a Card for the background. Ah well, next time!
To make the card, I used the Butterflies stamp (E8750) with coordinating Butterflies die (DIE008-I). Of course, I only used one of the butterflies for the card. I also used the Large Solid Leaf Stem (E8633) with the Branch die (DIE007-L). It made for a very quick card. I then chose a saying from the Treasured Memories Clear set (CL326). If you haven't seen that set, you should really check it out. It has so many sayings that are perfect when you need to send a little support during difficult times.
