Warm Bunny Wishes with Catherine Pooler

This new release is knock your socks off wonderful everyone!  I used the new stamps and dies called Bunny Slopes, Alpine Village and Folkstar slimline die. I actually used the die to make a stencil to stencil in the beautiful snowflakes into the background of my scene. 

The bunnies were stamped in Ink on 3 fade out ink and colored with Copics for a no line coloring.  I also used the new Oak City sequins.  All inks for blending and stamping were Catherine Pooler inks in the following colors:  Twilight, Cranberry Fizz, Deck the Halls, Skylight, Sandcastle, Daydream and It's a Boy.

Bunnies, Villages and Birches OH MY with Catherine Pooler Designs

 

Hi ya everyone!  I am so beside myself with this new Catherine Pooler Designs release.  I mean the cutest stamps ever.  The new Bunny Slopes stamp set is to die for!!!  I loved coloring them up in my Copic markers and matching them with the new White Birch Tree Cover plate.  There are just so many beautiful sets with this release.  The little house is from The Alpine Village stamp set and the paper is from the In the Alps patterned paper.

The sentiment is from the sentiment set called Cuddle Weather.  I went direct to paper with my Twilight ink to color the banner then used White embossing powder for the sentiment.

Make sure to check out the new release available WEDNESDAY OCT. 28th!

Flying High Friends with MFT Stamps

I fell in love with the new stamps from MFT that come in their card kit for this month.  I didn't buy the kit because I have so many of their papers already, but I did buy the stamps and dies!  The stamps are called Sky High Friends and Best Adventure Bears.

All the images were colored with Zigs and the backgrounds were colored with Catherine Pooler inks.  First I watercolored then ink blended.

I also created one of these beauties in a Facebook Live right HERE.
