Golden Goddess Designs: #catherinepooler

Welcome to my final installment as April's Guest Designer for Double Trouble Challenge #165 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing". This Challenge runs from Monday, April 29th thru Sunday, May 4th. The Twisted Sister twist is to use an image from the prompt which celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I searched my stash and found this adorable pinata set from Stamps of Life.

Here is the prompt for Challenge #165 for more details and to enter follow the link.

I used several dies for this project besides the Stamps of Life Pinata set, I used a Catherine Pooler slimline die. I actually cut the inside to create a frame.

I chose to use an Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge sketch for the Double Dare.

I purchased the set second hand. I was thrilled to learn the odd die included with the set was the bonus fringe die! My new favorite. It just made this card. Apparently SOL sell a larger version independently but this one was a mini included with the monthly subscription.

Ingredients:

Catherine Pooler Slimline Essentials (frame)

Stamps of Life Pinata 2 stamp and dies

Stampin Up Festive Birthday paper

Versafine Onyx Black ink

misc card stock and papers

gem

Good morning, I am here today with nautical themed slimline card. I really enjoy playing with distress inks but I also like clean lines. This card combines both my passions. I was able to get inky while keeping it clean. I used the Catherine Pooler Slimline Essentials dies. The set really does contain all the basics you need for wonderful slimline.

This photo is the first layer of ink application. I applied ink and splatter plain water here. After the next layer of ink, I applied shimmer spray. Finally, I die cut pieces from the optimal areas of the paper.

I love how the cuts turned out. I added gems as eyes.

I clustered a few of the sand dollar cuts.

I inked the edges of all the cuts.
