Hello 2023! Happy New Year!  A new month means it's time for a new limited edition stamp set from Impression Obsession. This month's set is super sweet for creating beautiful anniversary cards, Valentines, and all things lovely! Today, we'll look at a simple watercolored card idea featuring the stamps from this elegant new stamp set.
I love the idea of watercoloring my stamped images, but it's so hard to stamp on watercolor paper. The texture makes it almost impossible to get a smooth image. BUT I have found that using my MISTI really solves that problem. Stamping with the MISTI allows me to restamp the image a few times to get a nice even image, ready for watercolor.

Here are the important details on the Kit Release Blog Hop:

  • On January 1st & 2nd the Impression Obsession Team is sharing projects with the NEW Limited Edition Red Rubber Kit! You can find a list of participants on the Impression Obsession Blog each day through the event.
  • We are giving away TWO Impression Obsession Grab Bags for the event -the more you comment through our Kit Release Celebration the more chances to win!
  • All comments for each of the event days will be open until January 10th at 8pm CT and winners will be announced the next day on the IO blog.

Oh my goodness you're right I didnt even think of using these images for anniversary, duh... they're perfect! I just started to try watercoloring and the Misti is essential for that stamp crispness, love it!
