Theme Day- Friends


 

The Impression Obsession design team has set aside a day to share some fun themed projects! This month’s theme is friends!

Have fun checking out what our Designers have made today. Today's participants can be found on the Impression Obsession Blog
 
Greetings friends. This might not be the friend card you were anticipating, but I have to say, coffee is a really good friend of mine. I love this new stamp set. It has so many good sayings:
 
To make the card, I started with light purple cardstock and die cut it with the new big mug die. I then sponged it with darker colors of purple ink so that it would look like it had some shading. I hope you will join us celebrating your friends!

Greetings friends. Today I am sharing two favorites.. the ice cream cone die and ice cream sentiments stamp. I really couldn't separate the two. Check out these sentiments. Don't they make you happy?

 
To make the card, I cut out cardstock so that it would look like Neopolitan ice cream and then cut out scoops to match the background. It is hard to tell from the original photo, but I also added glitter glue for extra sparkle and drew lines to look like sprinkles. Here is a close up:


I added just a bit of sponged color to the cone and scoops to give them a bit of dimension. Easy!

Greetings friends. We did a card with a pun yesterday, so of course, we need to do another pun card! I really love the new Mixed Veggie Sayings clear set because it is loaded with puns and it pairs really well with the new veggie dies.

To make the card, I cut out my tomatoes out of red and green cardstock and then added a bit of shading by sponging on some Distress Ink. Here is a close up so that you can see the shading:
 
 
To finish the card, I made a background using the houndstooth Cover a Card background and added my sentiment and rhinestones

 Greetings friends. I wanted to start the blog hop off with an image that just made me smile. I will admit it, I wanted the clear stamp sent mainly for the sentiment. I know a lot of people who are going through hard times right now and I thought this was a good way to acknowledge that while adding a bit of humor.

To make the card, I stamped my mushroom onto cream cardstock using black Versafine ink. I then sponged the whole thing with various colors of brown Distress ink. To give the mushroom a bit of interest, I lightly spritzed the mushroom cap with some water to make it speckled. 

For the background of the card, I stamped my argyle cover a card background onto watercolor paper with black versfine ink and then colored the sections with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush.

To finish the card, I cut out my mushroom, die cut a rectangle frame and stamped my sentiment. Simple!
