The Impression Obsession challenge is to make a square card. I started with watercolor paper inked with Distress Ink weathered wood, frayed burlap & crushed olive, blending with water. I dry embossed with a leafy folder & sponged with frayed burlap to bring out the embossing. IO screen CAC was stamped over it & I added some swipes of Distress Stain tarnished brass with a gloved finger. The IO tree die was cut from gold & kraft to make it a bit thicker so it has dimension without using foam tape. This is my first card using the IO stamp with a line from the song. I have a good start on my Thanksgiving cards this year--just have to remember to get them in the mail! I'm also entering the Anything Goes Challenge at SSS Wed. So glad you took time to come by.
