Look What Else is NEW at Impression Obsession!

 Hey there my crafty peeps! It's Day 2 of the Impression Obsession March Release and today's card ideas are sunny and bright and ready for spring and summer. Stick around to the end of the post for all the details, and find out how you can WIN a gift certificate to the Impression Obsession shop! Let's get started!

Hey there Sunshine! Make a cute card with simple die cutting and a sweet sunflower stamp, all from Impression Obsession. Stop by my blog to see two ways to use this sunflower stamp.

Today's cards feature a sweet sunflower. This stamp is called Small Sunflower, but as you can see, it's a really good size on a handmade card. For the first card, I stamped it on yellow cardstock and then added colored pencil highlights and shadows for shading. On the background you'll notice a fun new die set called Three Rectangle Frames. This is a fun set to mix and match with because the die cuts out the stitched tag shape PLUS the outline for lots of possibilities. This is a great set for creating backgrounds (as you see on this card) plus for small sentiments - and even to make tags and labels. Total cuteness, AND practical, right?!

Make a sweet sunflower card with a simple die cut background using stamps and dies from Impression Obsession to say HEY THERE SUNSHINE, to your favorite sunshine!

Next, I did some fun watercoloring and made a background with the sunflowers. For a slightly funky color palette, I added dark blue for the flower centers and a bright green background. A simple sentiment finished off this card.
