I am blown away by all the comments left on my blog yesterday for the blog hop. There are 450 at the time I am writing this post. I'm working my way through them and reading them all. You have no idea how much your comments mean to me. There is still time left to comment for your chance to win one of the 2 free boxes Catherine is giving away. Clicky for deets.
Today is the official release of the new Beautiful World collection for Catherine Pooler's stamp of approval. If you were on the wait list you should have the email with your link in your inbox. If not, please email her. In honor of this special occasion I pulled out my 3 favorite dies included in the collection.
The coloring for this card is easier than you might think. Be watching for a youtube video in the future for the techniques I used. First I scribbled some Zig markers, then I spritzed with water. Next I stamped, then I die cut. Super easy to do!

We are celebtrating release day on StampNation with a beautiful challenge. Literally. The challenge is to create a beautiful card, and let me just tell you each and every one of the design team members and guest designers did! Here is a sneak peek of mine.

Paper: White Pure Luxury (Gina K Designs)
Accessories: Circle Framelits (Stampin' Up!) Sparkling Clear Sequins (Pretty Pink Posh)
It's obvious I fell in love with the gorgeous Gina K stamp set, isn't it? How could I not? It's so elegant with a touch of whimsy. To ink up the circle frame I used my ombre ink pad. Would you like a video to see how to do that too? Let me know in the comments below. I love sharing videos that help spark your creativity!
