Scrap 'N Stamp ~ Pooh & Friends Inspirational Hop **PRIZE**

Welcome to the Scrap 'N Stamp Pooh & Friends Inspirational Blog Hop!

Today's hop is all about the adorable Winnie the Pooh and friends!

My card features the adorable "Piglet Eeyore Tree" stamp set from Impression Obsession!

I began today's card by stamping the sweet image on some water color cardstock using my Distress Vintage Photo ink.  Yup... regular water based Distress ink!

I then proceeded to watercolor this image with Catherine Pooler inks: Do-si-do, Sage, Stone Blue and Catching Rays.  The cool thing about stamping an image with water based inks is that is blends into your paint with has a cool effect on your images.  I then fussy cut out the image.

Next I cut the orange with red chevron patterned paper from the "Winnie the Pooh" 6x6 patterned paper pack for my card base.  I also used my Tonic Deckle Edge Trimmer to cut a piece of blue tone-on-tone patterned paper from the same paper pack.  I added some machine stitching before adhering it to the card.

To finish off the card, I tied some twine around the end of the card base, added a stamped sentiment from the "Piglet Eeyore Tree" stamp set and for that final touch, I added some Craft Consortium "Adhesive Pearl Stars".

It turned out super cute!

I backed it with some glitter black cardstock for some subtle sparkle.

Then I ink blended a smaller piece of cardstock and stamped the floral heart from the "Yours Truly" stamp set.  I used some Copic Markers to color in more of the floral details.

Next I die cut a tag with a flag end from the "Hearts-n-tags Die" set and heat embossed a greeting from the same "Yours Truly" stamp set with some silver embossing powder.  I added in a few Tinseltown silver sequins to add that final bit of shine!

Rainbow Wishes & an Inky GIVEAWAY!

I have a few birthdays coming up for November that have to go into the mail so I pulled out some of my fun Global Adventure goodies from Catherine Pooler Designs to make at least one card.

So I started by stamping out my favorite "Take a Peek" animal, the giraffe using Sand Castle ink. Then I took my Polychromos Pencils and colored right over top of the brown ink to make my giraffe "rainbow".  You can see an even better close up down below.

The "leafy" looking background was created using the "Wavy Line Stencil" with some Martini ink and then I embossed over top of the ink and stencil using "Disco Ball" embossing powder for that added touch!  The dark blue and zebra patterned papers are from the "Across the Globe" 6x6 patterned paper pack.

The white frame is from the "Skyscape Mini Cover Plate Die".  The Monstera leaf is from the "Leaf Me in Paradise" and the speech bubble and sentiment are form the adorable "Critter Crew" stamp set.

I just the end result of that giraffe!

NOW for the GIVEAWAY!

This week I'm giving away the entire bundle of the Neutral Collection of CP REFILLS (not the ink pads... just the refills). That includes refills for... Midnight, Black Jack, Twilight, Sand Castle, Over Coffee and Icing on the Cake ink colors.

I thought a few weeks ago I had misplaced all my Neutral refills so I ordered a brand new set.  And what do you know!  The day they arrived, I found my original 6 refills!  Always the case right?!?!

Have a Tweet Birthday!

Happy Friday everyone.  I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.

My Mom has been taking care of me for the past week or so since my hubby works away from home and I’m now home from surgery.  I asked her to look through all my fun Power Poppy stamps and pick an image and a theme for me to make a card for you all today.  So she chose the sweet little birdie in the heart wreath from the Folk Heart stamp set.

I coloured it in using my Polychromos Pencils and then Copic air brushed it with my Catherine Pooler Designs “Turkish Delight” stencil.  I even misted it with a little bit of Tsukineko’s Gold Shimmer Mist for some sparkle.

Now come and check out what my fellow Bloomies have created to share with you today…
