The Daisies cling stamp from Impression Obsession was embossed using white detail embossing powder onto Kraft cardstock.  Just a hint of color was added to the flowers by lightly coloring with some Copic markers.

The white layer was embossed using the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder .  The sentiment is from the Whiff of Joy General Sayings set.  .

After stamping the bicycle image from the Riding Pretty set, I lightly stamped the Music background stamp (also from Impression Obsession) on top.  I paired my colored image with some patterned papers from the Gypsy Sisters Collection by Kaiser Kraft.  In keeping with the vintage theme, I roughed up some of the edges, did a little "messy sewing", and added some lace, ribbon, & buttons!.

The stamp used on this card is Impression Obsession's Rowboat cling stamp.  It was stamped with Versamark Ink  onto Watercolor paper, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Black embossing powder, then colored with Tombow Markers  and an aqua pen. Distressing was done with the new Forest Moss Distress Ink in conjunction with my fave Vintage Photo .   I like the subtle green it gives the edges with the Vintage burnt look. .

The stamp used on this card is Impression Obsession's Watering Can with Butterfly .   It was stamped it with Onyx Black Versafine Ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The dp is Frond (Memory Box), and the base layer is actually wool felt. I love the texture it adds. I used some Natural Burlap String to stitch on the sides and wrap around the horizontal layer, and finished it off with EK Success border punches..

The main image on this card is Impression Obsession's Tree and Leaves and the Small Tire Swing , also from IO.  This image is wonderful for using Versamagic Dew Drop Inks . I started off by inking up my tree with Gingerbread, then a bit of Memento Tuxedo Black, and then a layer of Jumbo Java to soften up the black. The grass was inked up with Key Lime and Hint of Pesto. After stamping the tree, I added the leaves. For this image, I used only Pixie Dust.

I used JustRite's 50pt Brayton Font and the Harmony Rectangular Stamper inked up with Smokey Gray Versafine. The papers are Memory Box, and I did a bit of piercing on the sides. I added some sparkle to the bg with a fabulous new toy that was introduced at CHA this year. It's made by Tsukineko and it's called Shimmer Spritz .  I used the Sparkle. It's very subtle and shimmery. .

The framed piece is stamped with an Impression Obsession image called Sanctuary . It was cut and embossed using Spellbinders Labels Ten Nestabilities .  The word "relax" is made with Maya Road Olivia Chipboard Alphabet .

The Canvas Tag (oh my gosh, I'm in love!) is from Maya Road. First I inked up Impression Obsession's large Music Cover-A-Card Background Stamp in Ranger's new Pumice Stone Distress Ink and stamped the whole tag. It's a very light effect, so you may not see it in the photo. Next I added a Prima crystal and pearl flourish, followed by some May Arts Ivory Loose Braid Wired Ribbon topped with some gray twill Pink Paislee Ribbon Pleats . Another oh my gosh, I'm in love - this twill comes already pleated and stitched! The ribbon border is topped by a loopy bow made from some Offray skinny ribbon and a Prima flower. Last comes the three Impression Obsession Mannequins , which I stamped onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White card stock and colored using Prismacolor pencils. I trimmed each one out before adhering to the tag, partly so the crystals could show from behind and partly so I could nudge them a little closer together. To replace the rod portion of the stamped image, which I wasn't able to successful trim around, so therefore cut off altogether, I simply hot glued the tops and bottoms onto straight pins. Worked beautifully!

The stamp used on this card is Impression Obsession's Rowboat cling stamp.  It was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol, and topped off with the "cracked glass" technique.  To get the cracked glass effect, you'll need some Amazing Glaze thick embossing enamel, a VersaMark pad, a heat tool, and your freezer.  Begin by coating the already colored image with VersaMark ink, and pouring on a layer of embossing enamel.  Heat with your heat tool, and let cool.  Repeat two more times, and pop it in the freezer for a couple of minutes.  Remove your image from the freezer and bend it back and forth to crack the enamel.  You can do this as much or as little as you desire.

Score it at 5" and 5 1/2".  A smaller 1/4" piece of designer paper was added to the inside and then the cocoa packet was stapled to it.
