Greetings friends. There is a brand new Impression Obsession release, and you know that means I get excited about sharing new Cover a Card backgrounds! For this first release date, I thought I would show you two.
The first Cover a Card is called Retro Circle, and it looks amazing no matter what color you use for stamping. However, I did find that if you stamp it in yellow, it has more of a "sunburst" feel and is great for summer cards. In this case I paired it with the new clear Citrus Set of stamps. Those stamps themselves make for an awesome background. The tag and banner sentiment used the new Stitched Tag die.
For the second card, I wanted to use the new Cherries background. Cherries to me definitely scream summer. The background was created by adding Colorburst powders to some InkJet paper (I used a coffee filter to diffuse the colorbursts onto the paper). When it was completely dry, I added the cherries with black ink. To finish the card, I used the new bold Thanks sentiment and surrounded it with a rectangle die cut from the Checkered Frames set.
I hope you will visit the other designers for more inspiration and for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate!

ReplyDeleteSO FUN & SUMMERY! Laura, I think you should give us a tutorial on how you did the diffusing of the color bursts! ;) LOVE the rich colors you used on BOTH! LOVE that summery feel! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I LOVE THE FRUIT images. The lemons are especially refreshing. It makes me look forward to summer.....
ReplyDeleteLove these fruit images and the sayings!
ReplyDeleteLOL #makelemonade I love it!!! Your cards are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI knew I could count on you to use the new CACs! The Retro Circle is on my list already and this just confirmed it as a must have! I LOVE your first card!!! I wasn't too excited about the cherries when I first saw it, thinking of it just stamped in red and having limited uses. I love that you stamped it in black! I'm rethinking now how this can be used in other ways! Great cards!!!
ReplyDeletethe cherries are fantastic.
ReplyDeletethe Retro Circles work great
with the lemons. Have
the same vein design.
Both cards are fun.
