Love You More

We are having a horrible rainstorm today but I have new stamps from Impression Obsession to play with, so some migraine drugs and a nap and I got a card for the challenge done. This time the IO challenge was "Love You More". I had been trying to get my Christmas cards done and almost forgot about the challenge, but my new stamps were on my desk just waiting for ink.
IO makes a heck of a lot of stamps and it was so hard to narrow down my never-ending wish list ! I thought the Floral Frame (L16054) would be fun to paint and it was!

I used Spun Sugar Distress ink on my stamp, but used a black Pitt Big Brush pen on the frame section of the stamp and it worked perfectly. I used my Distress markers and a paint brush to watercolour the flowers.The word stamp is another one of my new stamps and it fits perfectly in the frame. That stamp is called Live Every Moment (C5533) and I think it is lovely. I just added some Washi tape down the side and some Stickles to finish the card. Nice and flat for mailing!

IO- Season's Greetings

My friend loaned me her IO Poinsettia Wreath stamp ages ago, and I finally stamped with it about a day or so before she dropped by and picked it up. So I didn't do much with it :(

I just used watercolour paint, stickles and the IO Small Bow die (DIE057-AA).
Can't seem to control my urge to use watercolours! My husband passes by very quickly when he sees that green Kuretake box!
This is for the Impression Obsession Season's Greetings challenge.
Hope everyone had lots of fun shopping the IO sale. I know I sure did !!!
