Garden Giggles and Die Cuts with Impression Obsession!

Hello All! 

Today the Impression Obsession team is focusing on die cuts.  Have fun checking out what design team members have to share with you today.  You can find links to all of the participants on the Impression Obsession blog.  

There are soooooo many new dies in the August release, everyone of them cuter than the last!  I think this corny guy (see what I did there?!) just might be my favorite of the new dies.  The die is aptly named 'Corn'.  The coordinating sentiment stamp set is Corn Sayings. 

I die cut the Corn out in colored cardstock, then added texture and shading with Copics.  The sentiment is stamped with IO Black Ink.  The die and sentiment are mounted on the Tag with Reinforcement die cut.  His eyes are from the fun, new, Miss Your Face Stamp Set.  Once I stamped the eyes, I colored in the whites of the eyes with a Signo White Gel Pen. 

I used the sketch #683 at Splitcoaststampers for my card.  Head over to play along! It is my first week of being on the sketch team; kind of feels like a homecoming to me as SCS is really where I started out in the stamping world.  And a sketch stretches me and gets me out of my rut! 

Is this not the CUTEST??  This Tomato Die is irresistable!  Especially with the adorable face from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. I used the same technique here and for the next card as I did with the corn- die cut from colored cardstock and then shaded with Copics.  The background is done with -you guessed it- my fave, Ken Oliver Color Bursts.  The circle frame is die cut using the Wacky Stitched Circles Dies.  And, the adorable sentiment is from the Mixed Veggies Sayings Stamp Set; it was embossed with Alabaster White embossing powder.  A few enamel dots finish off this monochromatic card. 

Then there is the Avocado!  The process is the same as the tomato card and the sentiment is again from the Mixed Veggie Sayings Stamp Set.  The sentiment was heat embossed with some old SU embossing powder.  It was the perfect shade of green! 

Thanks for visiting!  Enjoy all of the inspiration!
