SOA Naturally Inspired Release Day

ETA: This is the post I wrote up for release day of the Naturally Inspired Stamp of Approval Collection.  It sold out before I got up that morning, so one of my favorite cards never got its screen time.  TODAY this collection is being released in the Catherine Pooler Store for individual sale!!!



------------------------------------------------------

Today is the day!  The big release of the new Stamp of Approval Naturally Inspired by Catherine Pooler.  I think this is my favorite one yet.  I sat down to stamp and 3 days later felt like I had barely scratched the surface of what this collection has to offer.  THAT is a great collection!

My card today was certainly inspired by my dear friend, Kristie Goulet.  She is a genius at using stamps in unique ways and creating fun background using small stamps.

Here is a close up, so you can see how I lined up the feathers and background stamps.

SUPPLIES for Card 1 (included in project guide)

Stamps: Birds of A Feather, Medallion Mix Up, Simply the Best
Ink: All That Jazz, It's A Boy, Flirty Fuchsia, Midnight, Mint to Be, Sweet Sixteen
Paper: Bright White
Accessories: 2 Way Glue Pen, Spiro Doily Die, Wanderlust Embossing Powder

Here is the second card I made.  By twisting the stamp to make a cross instead of an x, you get a slightly different background.
