Catherine Pooler Designs: Out West Release is Live!!!!

Hi everyone! 

The new Catherine Pooler Designs Out West release is LIVE! And it's amazing one! 

I have couple cards to share today using the My Kind Floral set and coordinating dies, also the Triangle cover plate.

For my first card I stamped and die cut the images. Stamped border onto 4" x 5 1/4" piece of white card stock assembled the flowers and leaves using foam adhesive, stamped sentiment in Midnight and adhered to a Midnight note card.

All supplies are listed on the bottom of this post.

For my second card I did some partial die cutting using the Triangle cover plate. I started with top folding note card and die cut part of the bottom, using a craft knife I cut out all the left overs to create a straight line at the partitioning point. Once done I adhered piece of the Prickly Patterned paper on the back. Adhered flowers and leaves and stamped sentiment! 

All supplies are listed on the bottom of this post.

For my card I stamped the imaged on watercolor paper and used Karin and Zig markers to watercolor it. Once watercolored I die cut the images. Set them aside. I used Butter Bar, Soft Sky and Tide pool ink to create the background. Once I completed the ink blending I spritzed the background with white shimmer iridescent spray. I adhered the images. Stamped the sentiment on Nautical card stock and embossed in white, trimmed to size and adhered to the panel. To finish off the card I adhered the entire panel onto top folding Nautical card.
