Quote of the Week

  • Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind of course we have on moments of depression; but there are other moments too, when time, unmeasured by the clock, runs on into eternity. ~ Daphne du Maurier

Christmas in July (or August)

The current Challenge at Impression Obsession is Christmas in July.  Shopping our Stash is also celebrating a Countdown to Christmas.

I used my MISTI and four colors of ink on my Impression Obsession Christmas Word Background to create an ombre stamped background.

It allows me to position the ink on the words I want, and by cleaning the stamp between inkings, it keeps the colors from mixing on the pads.

I added another Impression Obsession sentiment from Holiday Words to complete the design.  I'm also joining one of the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges at SplitCoastStampers.
