Welcome to day 1 of the Impression Obsession Spring Release Designer Hop. We have some beautiful CHA peeks to share and gift certificates to give away each day!!! You will want to hop on over to the Impression Obsession blog to get all the details. I know you are going to love all the team projects you are going to see this week.
Today’ hop list!
Kittie Caracciolo You are here
For my project today I used Dina Kowal’s gorgeous Watercolor Daisy, paired with a tag made using the Flag set and the Love sentiment from the Sentiments II set.
Normally this daisy image would have screamed for me to watercolor it. I had an idea of doing a red, white and black project and the daisy just seemed to be perfect left in black and white and in such beautiful contrast with the red and black layering. The layers were popped up on mounting tape to add interest and dimension. I don’t know what I would do without that stuff. LOL!
I added a touch of softness with the organdy multi loop bow and I thought the love sentiment was the perfect finishing touch.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy the hop.
Card size: 5.5” x 4.25” Paper: Papertrey Red, Black, White
Bold and beautiful Kitte! :)
