Welcome to Catherine Pooler’s Hello Sunshine Blog Hop & Giveaway! It’s full of Summer-y fun; flowers, ice cream, bikini’s, fonts, pretty die frames, new papers and much more!
These next two cards are made with the Sunshine Flowers and Whimsical Flowers stamp sets. Both have sentiments embossed on a shape from the Fitted Frames die set. Notice how Catherine’s inks blend so beautifully!
I used the Urban Oasis collection of inks for the background of the card above. The flowers and sentiments really stand out with WOW’s Gold Rich Embossing Powder! The bold blending was done with Tim Holtz Blending Tools.
The soft blending of the Party Dress ink on Sand Dunes cardstock was done with a Picket Fence Life Changing Brush. The flowers and sentiments were embossed with the softer-hued WOW Platinum Embossing Powder.
Hel-looo! There’s a $25 Gift Card GIVEAWAY from Catherine Pooler Designs! Follow along with my friends below and comment for a chance to win!
