~The Journey~

Happy Friday and thanks for taking the time to visit the Great Impressions Blog. If you have any plans for the week-end, I hope it's something fun.

For my card today, I am using the vintage big wheel image - E683 and the sentiment is "it's all about the journey" - D406. I really like this image and sentiment and am pleased with how my card turned out. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to get the sentiment on 2 lines.

I like how you accentuate an image by using a die cut to do some layering. Hope you like it as well. That's it for my post today so until next time..........

The Journey

I am lying poolside right now in beautiful Scottsdale Arizona.

Joined the DH on a business trip.  He is doing the business
 and I am enjoying all the perks!  (lol!)

My card today has a lovely nostalgic feel to it, brought on by the water color effect I created.  Actually no water was used....but I did pick up a little supply of brand new Tim Holtz Distress Markers.  For the look I achieved I colored directly on to my stamps using 

four markers.  Then I "huffed" on it and stamped.  

I love how this turned out!
It looks like I spent a long time coloring, when in fact
it took me about ten minutes to whip up the entire card!  I curved
my sentiment on the stamping block before coloring
in keeping with the softer look of the card.  

With the new Stickable Great Impressions Stamps it's a breeze!
