February Canvo Spreads with Catherine Pooler Designs

 

Hi ya everyone!  I'm super excited about my new Club Cavo this month.  I did a number of spreads with the new February kit and I love the beautiful terrarium and succulents.  I decided to go with greens and purples.

I did add some Icing on the Cake and Twilight as Neutral tones for grounding and objects.  I used the beautiful stencil in this months kit to create a background with just some gentle ink blending.

It's very simple to create quick and beautiful layouts with the Club Canvo kit from Catherine Pooler Designs.  Also, it's a very inexpensive kit, in which you can also make cards with.  I hope you will check out more from Catherine Pooler Designs.  You can do so right HERE.

Hi ya everyone!  I'm excited to share this card with you!  I used the adorable new digital stamp from Sweet November Stamps called Winter Kid Tess.   I colored Tess in Copics and fussy cut her.  I used Trinity stamps slimline dies to make the card.

The background was inked with the new Catherine Pooler inks: Serenade, Do-si-do and Chiffon.  I love this combo for a gorgeous sky.  I then splatter snow using Dr. Ph Martines white paint.

Happy Halloween...better late than never!

 

I created these fun ATC cards for a swap with friends using the adorable Big and Bold Jack-O-Lantern from Colorado Craft Company!  The entire thing was watercolored with Catherine Pooler Inks.  I also added some white stars with Dr. Ph Martin's bleed proof white.  The sentiment was white embossed on black paper.

The CUTEST Alpine Village

 

Hi ya everyone!  I am so excited about the new Catherine Pooler release.  This Nordic Folkstar slimline die is just beautiful.  I like using as a die and a stencil to put snowflakes gently in the background of scenes.  The little houses from The Alpine Village stamp set are so perfect with the little trees.  These sets work so amazingly well together.
