The Impression Obsession challenge is to make a project showing something you're thankful for. Of course, that's a long list, but decided this quote (Impression Obsession Follow Your Heart, CL407) sums it up. In my business I'm constantly reminded of how brief & precious life is--not perfect, but precious. Since I wanted the quote to be the focus of my card, I used Lisa's design HERE substituting Impression Obsession's Heart Flourish, D2145 for the wreath stamp. The colors are Navy, pink & plum--pretty together, don't you think? The words do stamp a little funny, but I tried several times & used Versafine ink--I think it's actually the intended look. The navy borders are made with a Fiskars border punch. Thanks for stopping by--love hearing what you think.

Love how you made the quote the focal point Greta and in the fabulous colour as well. Love the flourishes on the top and bottom
ReplyDeleteHello Greta
ReplyDeleteA wonderful quote,what is great about this card is that it has a very attractive design the flourish grabs the eye, but it does not take away from the text. Fabulous.
