I'm also playing along with CR84FN challenge. The beautiful colors for this challenge worked perfectly for the IO challenge, the theme of which is "encouragement".
So onto my card. As I mentioned, the theme of the Impression Obsession challenge is "encouragement". I used a sentiment from Verve Stamps which I think works perfectly.
The IO Cover-a-card stamps that I used were the Distressed Corduroy and Roses. First I stamped the corduroy using Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink, then I stamped the roses using PTI Dark Chocolate ink. If you click on the picture below you can see a bigger image, the detail of these stamps is really amazing! If it's possible to be in LOVE with stamps then I'm in love with these lol!
I finished my card with some shabby seam binding, and a Prima rose. The rose is white, so I inked it up with some of the Tea Dye ink to change the color to go better with my card.
I'm sure I'll be using the rest of my Impression Obsession stamps over the next few weeks so you'll be able to see more. There are SO many more that I want, but I was thrilled to be able to buy the six I did :)
