Welcome to Day 2 of the Impression Obsession 2014 Spring Release Designer Hop!
We have some beautiful CHA peeks to share AND Gift Certificates to give away each day!!!
The
hop will start each day with a list of participants on the Impression
Obsession Blog at 6am EST. Each day pay us a visit and then head over
and see our fabulous IO Design Team’s projects with our new stamps &
dies on their blogs (only one comment per blog per day please). The
more blogs you visit each day the better chance you will have to win!
Every
day (Monday Jan 6th – Friday Jan 10th) one of the blogs will be chosen
randomly and a winner will be selected from comments on that blog at
10pm CT. The winner will be announced the following day along with the
participating blogs for that day.
Two prizes will be awarded on the last day of the hop. One will be for Friday’s comments and another will be chosen from all the comments left throughout the week.
So if you miss a day or time deadline your comments will still count
for a chance to win a $25 Impression Obsession Gift Certificate! Both Friday winners will be announced on the IO Blog on Saturday.
If you have any questions please email Jeanne.
Welcome to day 2! I have been working on a series of clean and simple Valentine's, and I thought I would share one I made using one of the new small textured backgrounds by the very talented Dina Kowal. Her backgrounds are great because they are an easy way to add a splash of texture and color to your cards. You could just as easily switch out the heart and add a flower, butterfly, present, etc. for a quick and easy card. Very, very practical.
For my card, I stamped the Interesting Texture 2 (E13200) and Solid Heart (C14191) with pink shades of Memento Luxe ink and then stamped the Bold Sweet Valentine saying (C9137) on top with black Memento Luxe ink. The Luxe inks take a really long time to dry, but they are opaque enough that they really cover up the layers underneath.
Here are the other blogs on the hop today:

Sweet card. Very simple, but very striking. TFS
Hi Laura! I like how you used the background stamp to create a panel and then offset the stamped heart. And wow, those memento inks are very solid to layer so well on another stamped image. Good to know! your card is "simply" beautiful.
Such a very pretty Valentine!
Cute
