CARD DETAILS

Today, I'm sharing a card I made using the FABULOUS Catherine Pooler Designs stamps, inks and dies.  I used the beautiful Fresh Cut Flowers stamp and die set.  I stamped each item in the matching Catherine Pooler ink and then watercolored the whole scene with the ink refills.  These colors are so beautiful and vibrant, which makes watercoloring with them a blast.  I also used the new die, Feelin' Hexy Cover Plate Die.
