CHA DT Blog Hop Week - Day 3

The Impression Obsession team is showcasing some new images being introduced this week at CHA! You can visit the I.O. Blog each day this week for links to the previews. Be sure to leave a comment on each designer's posts throughout the week for a chance to win a gift certificate to I.O! There are so many gorgeous florals in this month's release! I watercolored this Rhododendron image using Derwent watercolor pencils, and added a little dimension by cutting around a few edges and embossing with a stylus. I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder on the center panel of my card.

Enjoy the hop today! Remember to leave a comment before you move on if you'd like a chance to win!
Thanks for stopping by!
