I’ve linked all of the products in the sale category below, this is a great price for the inks, and a chance to grab the three stampsets that were in the previously released Foundations box.

My first card uses the Amazing Florals set. I used a variety of inks from Catherine Pooler including Sugared Lavender, Coral Cabana, Bellini, Mint to Be, Seafoam, Green Tea, Sauna, Shea Butter, Rose Petals, Eucalyptus and Skylight and just KEPT STAMPING. I used a CPD Premium White notecard which are awesome for making quick cards, no cutting and scoring required. I also used a lot of the small acrylic blocks, I like to have several on hand so I don’t have to keep switching stamps. I started by stamping the sentiment in Midnight Ink in the centre.

I then surrounded the sentiment with images, starting with the larger images and then gradually filled in with smaller and smaller images from the set until there was barely any white left!

My second card uses Spot On, and the inks included in the sale – again I used a notecard, and then first off, stamped the main sentiment in Midnight. Look at the great coverage – that’s just one stamping without priming the stamp itself!

I then proceeded to stamp at random the overlapping circles in Grass Skirt, Fiesta Blue and Orange Twist. I stamped the sub sentiment on a scrap of white in Midnight and trimmed it out, and then popped it up on foam tape. As a finishing touch, I added some sparkling clear confetti.
