Altenew March 2020 Inspiration Challenge

Hello friends and welcome! I hope you all are doing well. I am popping in with a quick post and a card that I created for the

 Altenew March Inspiration Challenge. 

Here is my take on the challenge. Love these colors!

I positioned the Skylight stencil in a couple places towards the top of my panel and did some ink blending with various ink colors. My sentiment is from the set Halftone Circles.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Gina K. Designs February 2020 New Release Blog hop - Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the Gina K. Designs February Release Blog Hop. I am so glad your here! You should have arrived from Mindy Eggen's blog. If you have lost your way and would like to start at the beginning click here to go to Gina K.'s blog.

I have so much to share with you today so let's get started! First up is a new set by Emily Loggans called Just Because. 

Here are my cards featuring this set. I created a couple of alcohol ink backgrounds as a backdrop for the sentiments. The large "hello" is from last month's card kit A Big Hello.

The next set we are focusing on today is called Kindness Wreath illustrated by Hannah Drapinski.

This is a beautiful set that may be colored with pencils, markers, water colors or just left the way it is. For my first card I did some ink blending with Wild Lilac and Passionate Pink GKD inks and just stamped the wreath image directly on to the ink blended background. For the second card I went clean and simple. The small leaf branches were stamped with Obsidian Amalgam ink, colored with Zig Real Brush Markers and cut out with my Scan N Cut machine. I added a couple of straight lines with a fine tip black pen and a ruler and added a couple of gold jewels.

The last set we are showcasing is called Woodland Whimsy. This one was illustrated by Lisa Hetrick and is probably my favorite set from this release. 

Here are the two cards I created featuring this set. I loved the way my first card turned out. The flower images and leafs were stamped in Obsidian Amalgam ink, colored with Copic Markers and  cut out with my Scan N Cut machine. A jewel was added to the center of the middle flower. My last card was randomly stamped with one of the flower images and the double leaf image then heat embossed with GKD white embossing powder. I sectioned off areas of the top part of my panel and did some ink blending with Wild Lilac, Passionate Pink and Sea Glass GKD inks. I heat embossed a sentiment on a strip of Black Onyx card stock and adhered it to the lower portion of my card.
