Hello, and welcome to the second post of the day featuring another new Apothecary ink from Catherine Pooler designs: Crushed Violet. This stunning new Catherine pooler ink Crushed Violet features in the Blue Violets on the Spa colour wheel, you can grab your Catherine Pooler Ink Colour wheel HERE. It fits beautifully in between Serene and A Queen For A day, giving you beautiful mid-tone purple. I love the richness of A Queen for a Day, so to have a trio of colours to pair beautifully with it is amazing! So let’s get started comparing, swatching and turning it into a card! These new colours are going to be released as part of the new Quint-Essentials Collection from Catherine Pooler Designs.

Start off by swapping your Serene Ink pad across a white card panel. This is the lightest Spa blue-violet in the collection. Crushed Violet is the mid-tone blue-violet colour and when you swipe this on the card panel next to Serene, you see how well they fit together. Lastly, swipe A Queen for A day at the bottom of the panel giving you the darkest shade of blue-violet in the Spa collection of inks.

Using the mixed media embossing ink brush from WOW! add a few brush marks onto the panel and cover with Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder before heat setting. Trim this panel down and add it to a white card base.
Die-cut the Hey word die from the Hello Trio Word die set out of white card 3 times to layer up and add to the front of the card. lastly, embellish with some gold sequin discs to finish the card off.
