FALL SALE AT CATHERINE POOLER DESIGNS!! | YOU ARE MY HOME CARD

Hello everyone! Good morning!! :) Did you know there is a Fall Sale going on at catherinepooler.com. You can check all the products HERE. Grab them before they're gone!!

I was in total fall mood last night, I really wanted to create something different than my usual style and colors. I thought a simple one layer card with fall colors would do the job. By it's looks, this card is complicated but it's just a one layer card design with masking, ink blending with splattered background.

CARD DETAILS

I started by stamping and masking (check the video link HERE) the pumpkins from Autumn Blessings Stamp Set to create a pumpkin patch. This pumpkin is a solid stamp so I dabbed Tiki Torch Ink followed by Tutti Frutti Ink to the edges of the pumpkin to create a dual color effect. This is called Ombre Stamping, you can check the video link HERE.

Once the pumpkin patch was created, I masked the edges of the card and blended the background with Lime Ricky Ink. The sentiment was stamped from the same stamp set on a strip of cardstock and adhered to the card front as shown above. To add more details and texture, I added splatters of black ink and adhered sparkly stars. :)

SIZZIX | PLANTER CARD | MAKING VIDEO

Hi everyone! Welcome back, how you are doing?

CARD DETAILS

It's been a while since I played with Camlin Brush Pens. I have made a video for creating backgrounds with brush pens and you can watch the video here. So today I wanted to try something new or a different watercolor technique with these pens today.

The technique is simply apply the colors and then add water. That's when the magic happens! All the colors mix together and give a beautiful result. I think I've seen a video but I'm not sure or am I just assuming?? Please, if you come familiar or come across to a video like this, leave the link below..

To die-cut the dies I used my sweet tiny SideKick Machine by Sizzix. I adhered all the die-cuts over the card front with Tacky Glue once they are dry.

I also painted the ground as I don't want my plants to float in the air. I felt the card was missing something so the black splatters. The sentiment stamp was from Catherine Pooler Designs called Pineapples and Smiles.
