Even More Cards with Catherine Pooler's New Inks

I had so much fun playing with the new Catherine Pooler Inks that I ended up with way too many cards for the blog hop yesterday! Here are the additional cards that didn't quite make the cut...

    
This card is similar to one of the blog hop cards, but there are no white spaces ... the whole card is saturated in color.

  
Wow!! Look how the yellow sits on top of the orange to give it that neat, transparent effect. Doesn't it look like a bokeh rainbow? This card just uses the back of one of the circles from Spot On, and the sentiment is a cute one from For Everything.
 

This card uses most of the cool colors in Catherine's ink line up, stamped with several butterflies from the Butterfly Notes set. Again, love how the inks react to each other ... check out where the blue butterflies overlap. The lighter Fiesta Blue is actually laying on TOP of the darker blue. Such a great property! And the coverage is just amazing with these inks.


This is a "don't give up" card. I had stamped this panel while I was making the previous card, but after it was done I wasn't happy with the large number of butterflies I stamped. It looked like a mass invasion!! Hahaha. So I set it aside, and a couple days later, after I had another discard laying on top of it, I thought it looked like a good enough card and just adhered the two pieces together. Ta-da!

If you're in the market for new inks, I would highly recommend these from Catherine Pooler. They are my new go-to inks. I would caution that the red and black inks stain your stamps, but given how amazing they are to stamp with I am completely fine with that.

Thanks so much for coming back to look!

  3. A mass invasion of butterflies is all right with me, Kelly, whether IRL or on your glorious card.
