You guessed it, it is Impression-Obsession Week at Stampers Dream. Michelle has stocked her store with new IO Winter 2009 images that are in plenty of time to color up for Christmas. I just adore the images and all the detail; the artist’s shading makes them a cinch to color up and the shading makes it look I worked really hard to get depth into the picture. I made my card with the Winter House image. It reminds me of a snowy day with big thick socks on, sipping a cup of hot chocolate and not having to go outside, lol :) I colored the image with a combination of Tombow markers and watercolor pencils.

Gorgeous, Becca! Love that image and your coloring!
Oh yes…it IS gorgeous! Your coloring and design on this card is simply awesome!!! Thanks, my friend! Beautifully done! :-)
I LOVE everything you make!!!!! I never miss a day checking your blog, you are truly an inspiration!
Incredibly GORRRRRRRGEOUS!!
Adorable image. Love your ‘awning.’
What a gorgeous scene!!! Love it!
While this is very beautiful card, I can’t see mass producing this. Perhaps one or two for those special people!
That is just what I requested. Your using markers less expensive than Copic. Thanks so much. It inspires me to buy some. Also I think ODB Designs should be giving you a sales commission because you made me and I think a lot of other people loyal customers. They have the greatest stamps and fast service. I liked the Stamper’s Dream stamps as well. Next time I’ll give them a try. Thanks so much for listening.
Beautiful work.
that is really pretty. I love everything about it. esp. the awning. and fence look!!
hugs to you,
kay
i am so coloring challenged, but i think i could manage to do this one. i love the valance over the card and the rich colored ribbon.
Just gorgeous!!!
Becca –
What a lovely card and I just love that IO Stamp, Winter House. But I’ve always put off getting it because I thought it would be too hard to add color to. You’ve inspired me to give it a try.
Thank you

Gorgeous Becca! Love the image and your beautiful bow!
Absolutely wonderful, what fabulous stamps. The colouring looks so amazing and nice to know you didn’t spend hours doing it, yes, stamps can help us sometimes to achieve that look.
Your usual adorable bow just shouts Christmas and I love the stitched ribbon, haven’t noticed that before.
I definitely need a holiday in the US to buy all these wonderful stamps.
Another “Wow”
Stunning card, Becca. Your stamped image is a work of art!
Just beautiful Becca, your coloring is superb. Isn’t this the house we all wished that we lived in at Christmas time? TFS!!!
I’m having such a good time enjoying your work and website. You are a real inspiration to me and though struggling with work and health issues, I feel encouraged and uplifted. I’m starting on my Christmas list and you’ve given me just the little shove I needed with the Impression Obsessions stamps. I ordered a bunch of them! A girl can never have too many stamps is my motto!
May the Lord bless you richly today for the touch of grace you are providing to so many — especially me.
