I’m just saying – who doesn’t want a date night right now? Date night with a special person, date night with your friends, date night with your kids… or how about using the NEW Date Night ink colors from Catherine Pooler Designs? Ha! That’s going to be my date night tonight! Crafters, you understand!
When your date night inks are this beautiful, you won’t mind spending a lot of time with them! Check out this cute card I made! My favorite shades in the new Date Night collection are Drive-in, Pucker Up, and Cummerbund. I love them each on their own, but also together. I had so much fun making this card.
Just a note – this card is part of a GIVEAWAY for a Catherine Pooler Designs gift card. But, you have to join me over on Instagram to get in on the prize. Find me @sarah.greber. I promise it will be fun!
Here’s a close up of that adorable dumpling. The new set (Hey There Dumpling) comes with a little face with different expressions. I couldn’t help adding a cute squint/laugh and the cheeks. That background of this card is all water-coloring. Yup, Catherine Pooler inks are great for water-coloring. I put down lots of color on this watercolor cardstock and let it dry before I stamped a bunch of the Take Out stamps in versamark ink and clear embossed them. After a day of waiting on that… I added more water to the background and wiped away the color. In the end, it trapped the color under the embossed images. This is a trick I’ve seen many times, but most recently from a video of Jennifer McGuire’s. It worked like a charm with my CP inks! You should definitely give it a try!
Are you a fan of these colors?!! How about this cutie pie sushi stamp set called “Hey There Dumpling”? I couldn’t get enough of it and my kiddos had fun with these stamps, too. I used a simple circle die cut for my main sentiment area and I cut multiple layers of each sushi shape so I could stack them. On the card, they are sturdy and thick.
Finished it with a few Crater Lake sequins (CP sequin mixes are the BEST!) and that’s it! Might be my favorite card of the past year! Let me know what you think.
