Love and Bubbles Card for Catherine Pooler

I have a fun, bubble embellished card for you today, featuring the much anticipated Soda Pop release coming out this Wednesday from Catherine Pooler. If you're a Stamp Nations member, you'll actually have access to this collection a day early. Perks of membership! Scroll down for a few creative details on this project. I also have product links at the end of this post, but keep in mind you won't be able to shop the newly released products until Wed. April 19th. 

 

Let me remind you, if you're on Instagram, be sure and stop by Catherine Pooler's page to start hopping along for the chance to win all the gray inks and refills. The gray inks are also new to the shop and we are all super excited about it! A winner will be selected on Tues., April 18th.

There are several bundles that will be available on 4/19 and the Feelin' Fizzy bundle is one that I'm creating with today. 

I decided to watercolor some bubbles on mixed media paper, using the Slate gray ink pad and Do-Si-Do ink pad. I simply pressed my ink onto a craft mat, then grabbed the colors with my water brush. I ended up fussy cutting the larger bubbles to use as embellishments all over my card and I also popped them up on adhesive foam.

The remainder of my stamped bubbles on my card panel were filled with Nuvo irridescent dream drops and they are sooo gorgeous and shimmery in person!

I also wanted to do some ink blending for the Love word. I ink blended two different trimmed panels of white cardstock and blended the Cranberry Fizz and Do-Si-Do ink on one panel. (Can I just stop right here and say, I've used lots of different brands of blender brushes but my Catherine Pooler blender brushes are my absolute favorite. I love them so much and get such good results with my ink blending.)

For the next panel, I used the same inks from above but also used all the grays as well. I ran my Retro Love Word die through my platinum 6 with the ink blended panels and also ran my die on white and black cardstock. Might as well have several on hand for future projects, right?

I ended up mixing and matching all my die cuts to get 4 different word die cuts. As you can see, I went with the 3rd one pictured below, for this card.

I almost forgot to mention, my panel was stamped with the Hoodie gray ink using the Wonky Stripe background stamp and my Misti stamp positioner.

I also inked the edges of my white A2 card with the Slate gray ink, underneath the panel.

I used a masking technique to break up my sentiment and stamp the wording in different sections, above and below my word die.

Just don't make the mistake I did. And, it's not the first time, haha. Things were going well on my masking until my last word "Fizzle" was stamped. I forgot to peel off my masking tape and, yup, ink got all over my panel from the tape. Sigh. It happens. I had to start all over so don't make that mistake!

I hope you've enjoyed all the inspiration from this exceptional release coming out on Wednesday! If you'd like to view more samples on social media, simply type #cpsodapop in your search bar to view more inspiration from the design team and my fellow brand ambassadors. Happy cardmaking!
