Welcome to Day 2 of "The Perfect Reason" Stamp of Approval Collection Blog Hop!
If you are new to Stamp of Approval... here's what's its all about!
Stamp of Approval is a box filled with a special collection of stamps, dies and in this case, a stencil just for you! All of the items in the box can be mixed and matched together and are designed to do so. Accompanied by your favorite ink, this box makes a great gift too! I would suggest Catherine's own ink line, found here.
This lovely box of creative goodies comes straight to your mailbox but you have to order it quickly as it tends to sell out within the first 12 - 18 hours!
To get on the Wait List to receive your "ready for purchase" email, click here! If you are a member of StampNation, you will receive your shop email an hour ahead of time. Just one of the perks of being a member! :)
Now let's get to sharing some fun creations made using the contents of "The Perfect Reason" Collection.
For my background, I used a soft nylon bristled brush to achieve the soft blended back ground of inks through our fun stencil included in this release's collection.
For my second card, I wanted to create a fun, bold back ground so I stamped all of my elements in Midnight ink and then masked them off using masks cut using the stamp sets' coordinating dies.
Would you like to WIN a box of your very own??? Comment on each designers blog hop post to WIN. There are THREE days a chance of winning. One winner will be chosen at random from each day's blog hop comments and announced on February 9 on Catherine's blog. The winners will win their box and if you have already bought it, you will be refunded!
Now hop on over to the next designer's blog for more Stamp of Approval goodness...
Thanks for dropping by! Happy hopping today!

Your cards are beautiful....awesome ink color
So cool! Love the flowers.
I had a REALLY hard time deciding which card I preferred (which doesn't happen very often). I finally decided on the True Friend card - but I think it was based on it being the end of a very energizer bunny type of day and that card is so calm and serene to look at. I really enjoyed it.
Just delightful!
Stunning cards. I love your gorgeous colour blending. Your second card with the masked stamping really packs a visual punch in the best way - it is awesome.
Wonderful, vibrant colors on both cards. The stencil makes a great trellis for the stamped and die cut flowers. Your use of black on the second card really makes the colors pop. Love the sentiments!
Wow, these cards just pop! Love the colors you used.
LOVE these cards! Great job!
You are so good with color Ally. These combos look great. Your designs are fabulous as well.

You really wowed me with your blending on both cards! That is one of my favorite techniques, so I love seeing on a card that is so beautifully done. The second card is so eye catching. It is not something I would have ever thought to do, but I certainly will now! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
The first card is spectacular. You are so creative!
Your card with the 'Mod Squared' Stencil is awesome.
