A Catherine Pooler Collaboration with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

 Happy Friday everyone!! So excited for the weekend!!!

Today on the blog I am sharing THREE cards I created in a collaboration with Catherine Pooler Designs and CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. Catherine Pooler was so kind to send the design team a package of her AWESOME inks (I received the Carnivale set, along with her Midnight Ink) and I decided use them in three different ways.  

For my first card, I used Suede Shoes ink color and the CAS-Fridays Modern Petals Stencil to create a background for my card.

I paired this with the Garden Fri-dies and the soon to be retired Peace and Comfort stamp set to complete my card.

I used Catherine Pooler's "Be Mine" for a little direct to paper action for my pink flowers and the "Mardi Gras" to shade in the green leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from Peace and Comfort using the Midnight Ink. 

For my second card, I did some ink smooshing on white paper using Catherine Pooler's "Tutti Frutti," "Tiki Torch," "Mardi Gras," and "Lemoncello" dye ink. I then die cut leaves out of the home made paper using CAS-ual Fridays soon to be retired Acorn Fri-dies.

These inks were awesome to use for this technique as they were so pigmented that I didn't have to do a ton of work.

I layered these leaves over a piece of kraft embossed paper that I received as protection from some products in a package!! I love to recycle on a card!!

The stems were die cut from kraft cardstock and shaded in with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

My last card I used a direct to paper technique with a rainbow of inks from Catherine Pooler. I then used some water over the top to get the drips down watercolor paper.

I let the background dry and then sprayed it again with some shimmer spray to make it shine. I paired this background with the CAS-Fridays Be a Unicorn stamp set and matching Unicorn Fri-die.

I used Copic markers to color in my unicorn but I made it a little too dark. Sigh. These things do happen!!!

To finish off my card, I added some clear sequins that I covered with Nuvo Glitter Accents.

My final step was to cover the unicorn horn with the Nuvo Glitter Accents and the entire unicorn with some Wink of Stella. There is a TON of sparkle and shine on this card that was really difficult to photograph. This is my favorite of all three cards!!!!

Sunday Tea with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Sunday everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Today I am on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog with a card that I combined three CAS-ual Fridays Stamps stamp sets.

I hand stamped a sentiment from "Heartfelt Sayings" in blue onto a piece of blue patterned paper and adhered it to a white A2 card front. Next I adhered a banner over that.

I die cut a tea cup and a tea pot using the CAS-ual Fridays "Teapot Fri-dies" and shaded them in with Copic Markers. I then stamped flowers and leaves from the "Peace and Comfort" stamp set on each of them.

I adhered the teapot and teacup over the banner.

What would my card be with out using the "Fun-Fetti Fri-die?" I adhered three die cut hearts on my card, covered them with a glitter pen and topped them off with Glossy Accents.
