Gina K. Designs August 2020 Release Blog Hop

17 August 2020



Welcome to a new Gina K. Designs release! For the next three days the team will be sharing exciting new products so make sure you leave a comment on each blog for a chance to win one of three $50 GC's to the store. One GC will be awarded for each day of the hop. Winners will be chosen randomly and posted on the Gina K. blog several days after the hop.

First up I have a couple of cards created from a fabulous new set illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger called Beautiful Butterflies. This set has coordinating dies that may be purchased separated




The panel is die cut with the stitched rectangle die that is included in the new Master Layouts 2 Die Set.
Black Onyx, Passionate Pink, Tranquil Teal and Sea Glass GKD inks were used on my card. A coordinating die was used to cut the butterfly out.


The panel is die cut with the stitched rectangle die that is included in the new Master Layouts 2 Die Set.
I ink blended the butterflies with Tranquil Teal and In The Navy GKD inks directly onto one of the butterfly images with a finger dauber and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.


The second set that we are showcasing today is called Wildflowers and Weeds illustrated by Lisa Hetrick. This set also has coordinating dies that may be purchased separately.


 

For my first card I created an Autumn scene. I sponged a variety of GKD inks to the bicycle wheel with a finger dauber to give it an antique kinda look using colors you would associate with the fall season.

 
For the second card I used the "smooshing" technique with Wild Dandelion, Powder Blue and Wild Lilac GKD inks. Other inks used were Black Onyx and Sweet Corn.


The last set today is illustrated by Hannah Drapinski called Positive Thoughts.


Here are my cards featuring this set.

 
I kept this card very simple and just added some color to the cheeks and some eyeliner.


For my last card I used an image from the Tiny Textures mini stamp set to stamp the background with Wild Dandelion, Bubblegum Pink, Jelly Bean Green and Sea Glass GKD inks. The large image and sentiment were stamped with Black Onxy ink.
