TROPICAL TREASURES RELEASE BLOG HOP & GIVEAWAY!!!


Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Tropical Treasures release blog hop for Catherine Pooler Designs.    The Creative Team is sharing projects to introduce you to the new items. 

My two cards feature the amazing Pineapples & Smiles stamp set




I stamped and white heat embossed the pineapple image, used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I then ink blended with rainbow colors on the pineapple die cut.  To add a bit more dimension to the triangles, I used my blender pen and ink to color them in using the coordinating colors.


 After the ink blending was complete, I stamped and gold heat embossed the top of the pineapple.  I then white heat embossed the sentiment from Hex Marks the Spot stamp set (more on that set in the coming days).  I then stamped the same pineapple image twice onto a piece of white card stock.  I adhered the colored pineapple with dimensional adhesive and added a black and white twine bow.  I mounted this all on a piece of black card stock and then onto a white card base.


For this card, I stamped the other pineapple image using Aquatini and Flirty Fuschia ink.  I absolutely LOVE the color this creates when combined!!!  After stamping I spritzed with some shimmer spray to add a bit of sparkle.  I love the water marks this created.


I sponged with Midnight ink through the Wonky Triangle stencil to create "ground" for my pineapple.  I then stamped the sentiment and added the pineapple with the black and white twine bow.
