If you’re new to Stamp of Approval – click here to check out everything you need to know about this amazing collection of Stamps, Dies and other goodies.
The theme of this collection is Naturally Inspired. That got us thinking about what inspires us. Rainbows of bold bright colour (HELLO, Catherine Pooler inks!) are my favourite thing to use in my crafting.
This collection full of products that you will love! Here are three of the cards I've made:
You're the Best
This fun rainbow card is sure to make someone feel appreciated. I made a quick video for this one. Be sure to check out The Naturally Inspired collection for full instructions. I used the Simply the Best set and matching die as well as Wild Garden Stamp set and the new Wanderlust super-sparkly embossing powder!
Inks: Tiara, Tiki Torch, Party Dress, Flirty Fuschia, Fiesta Blue, Lime Ricky, Midnight
Birthday Wishes
This card uses the Simply the Best stamp set and the Wild Garden stamp set. Look at how smoothly the Catherine Pooler inks blend - and they react with water too! So yummy!
Inks: Tiara, Tiki Torch, Party Dress, Midnight
Best Wishes
This card uses the Best die, Simply the Best stamp set and Lattice Frame die, as well as the new Wanderlust embossing powder. After I cut the lattice in white, I put Versamark all over it and embossed it for a sparkly effect. Don't you love how the heart fits into the curve of the 't'?
Inks: Rockin' Red, Midnight

ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Loved the video.

ReplyDeleteLoved all of your cards...he colors are wonderful! I loved what you did with all the dies! And the cherry on top was the video! Thank you for sharing... you did a fantastic job!
ReplyDeleteArdyth, I love each of your projects and am wondering why I don't make more square cards?? They are so graphically pleasing. I miss seeing your work on the One-Layer Simplicity challenge :( You did a wonderful job showcasing the versatility of the CP inks, for blending and watercolouring. The first rainbow card, in particular, is a wonderful mixture of colours, products and techniques.
ReplyDeleteHard to pick between the three. Thanks for video on the first one, it is really so simple with the CP inks, appreciate you sharing. The second one is probably my fav because of the soft blending of colors and the nature theme. But gosh, the last one with the lattice embossed, many ways to use this idea.
ReplyDeleteLoving your cards and thanks for sharing the video for the first card. The lattice and Best and awesome and the birthday wishes with the butterfly is a great card.
ReplyDeleteLove the second card with the silhouettes. The use of the lattice die was creative!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful cards I love rainbows too so the first card is fab, but my fav is the second card I just love the sunset you blended and the black silhouette look of the flowers, it's simply beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI really like the sunset background with the flowers and butterflies...way to think outside 8F the box.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I absolutely love the colors you used!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are lovely. Florals inspire me. The colors, the shapes and the scents. I'm glad there is Wild Garden stamp set in this collection. I may have to case your cards.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Especially love the rainbow card!
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by color also and your cards are amazing. I am so looking forward to this next SOA joined with the CP inks you can create so much goodness
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful beautiful cards. I loved how you used the rainbow inspiration in two different ways with the wild garden set. The inlayed diecutting with the white just popped.
ReplyDeleteI very how you cut out the lattice of the die!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! I love the colors on the first and second one, and then the way you used the wild garden stamp and lattice die!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your rainbows! Fantastic work, as always!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards! This collection is amazing and is open to so much creativity!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards! Love the colors on all of them! Great rainbow colors on the first card, the second one reminds me of sunset colors, both always so pretty and colorful! Aren't CP inks the greatest! Love the embossed lattice on the white card too, so striking!

ReplyDeleteOmg Ardyth, those cards are just gorgeous!! I love the watercolored backgrounds! I am excited to do this technique with the dandelion stamps, I know it's going to be beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what paper you used for the watercoloring? I see the colors moved so smoothly and blended so nicely so I'm wondering which paper helped it do that
