With Sympathy

This week, the F4All Challenge theme is "Anything Goes." I chose an easy challenge since this is such a hectic time of year. Sadly, I need a sympathy card. Despite the sadness behind the task, it allowed me to explore a new creative tool: the BetterPress system, which a dear friend gifted me for my birthday.

The Betterpress impression adds rich color and a touchable impression with just one pass through a die-cutting machine!

 I chose a simple yet elegant design that reflects warmth and thoughtfulness. The crisp lines and textured feel of the letterpress added depth to the message I wish to share.

I hope this card brings a small sense of solace to the recipient. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

I Am So Sorry

Hello!  It's time for another Old is New Day at Impression Obsession. This time, I have chosen to feature the Pixel Daisy.  It debuted earlier this year so it's not all that old but it's not on the New Release list so it qualifies.  :)  The sentiment is from Card Sentiments, a stamp set I reach for over and over. I stamped the daisy in pink and gray ink and then scored the background and added little nails with a stylus.  This technique was shown to us by Lydia, but she used an embossing folder which gives a wonderful effect.  I fell in love with the technique and I have been trying to use it in different ways ever since!  

 I am also participating in Art Nudge #37.  Inspired by the chair I made a white and gray weathered-wood background. I focused on the super pretty pink flowers on the right for my pop of color.  You know I would zero in on the pink!  :)

I hope you will stop by the Impression Obsession Blog to find a list of the designers participating in today's Old is New!
