STATELY FLOWERS

 SIMPLY CIRCULAR

I am starting off with a couple cards featuring Stately Flowers 13.

My first card features White, Black Onyx and Dusty Rose Pure Luxury card stock. Image was stamped with Obsidian Amalgam Ink and colored with Copics.

Here I have a one layer card that was also stamped with Obsidian Amalgam Ink and colored with Zig Real Brush Markers.

Next I have two cards created with the Simply Circular stamp set.

Here I have a fun card stamped repeatedly with various Electro Pop Neon Inks.

I did some masking and ink blending on this one. The sentiment and the big "hugs" die cut are from the mini stamp set Hugs. The die for this set is sold separately. 

Spend $75 at Gina K. Designs and receive the Friendship Flower mini incentive stamp set free! It will automatically ship with your order.

Here is a quick card I created featuring this set. Image was stamped with Velvet Red GKD ink and die cut with the large GKD circle die.. Background was dry embossed with the Leafy GKD Art Stencil on Soft Stone card stock and adhered to a white card stock base. 

The entire February release is available now at:

Altenew January 2020 Inspiration Challenge

Hello and welcome! I am playing along in this month's challenge over at Altenew with a card I created featuring the gorgeous colors above.

Here is my take on the challenge.

This card features the newly released Mod Vases and Vase Fillers. The images were stamped with Black Onyx Versamark and for the sentiment I did a bit of color blocking onto a strip of cardstock with the colors in the graphics and then heat embossed my sentiment with white embossing powder.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Gina K. Designs January Release Blog Hop - Day 3

Good morning and welcome! You should have arrived from Mindy Eggen's blog. It's the last day of the hop and today's focus is on this month's card kit called A Big Hello. This kit is amazing! It will make you think of spring. It includes three stamp sets, coordinating dies, a stencil and eight sheets of card stock in four different colors! Here's a quick look at it.

Let me show you the cards I created featuring this kit.

I did some ink blending with Turquoise Sea and Jelly Bean Green inks and then added splatters and twine.

Flower images stamped with Passionate Pink GKD ink.

This card was so quick and simple to make and the only color I used was Velvet Red and Jet Black Amalgam Ink.

Gina K. Designs January Release Blog Hop - Day 2

Hey there! It's Day 2 and there is more inspiration coming your way! Today we are featuring new stamps and dies by three amazing illustrators, but before we do that just a reminder that there are three $50 gift cards to be awarded to three lucky commenters so be sure to comment on all the blogs each day of the hop. The winners will be randomly selected and posted several days after the hop ends over at Gina K. Designs. Good luck!.

OK, lets get started. First up is a set illustrated by Emily Loggans called Be The Rainbow. This one contains several fun images with encouraging sentiments in Emily's own handwritten lettering style.

The rainbow was stamped with Electro Pop Neon Inks. Perfect for rainbow coloring and any other images for a bright and vibrant look!

Next up is Massive Peony illustrated by Hannah Drapinski. This is a beautiful stamp set for those of you that enjoy coloring. The large flower image is perfect for the no line coloring technique that I have yet to learn. This one comes with a die that may be purchased separately.

  

For this card I left it uncolored and just did some water coloring to the background using the "smooshing" technique and Wild Lilac and Blue Raspberry GKD inks. The sentiment was heat embossed with GKD gold embossing powder. Lastly I added several gold jewels. 

The last set we are showcasing today is called You Anchor Me illustrated by Lisa Hetrick. You are going to love this set which includes a huge anchor image, beautiful flowers to adorn it and several sentiments.. This set has coordinating dies that may be purchased separately.

For my first card I did some ink distressing with GKD inks to make the anchor appear as if it has been sitting in water for a long period of time. Inks used were Jelly Bean Green, Blue Raspberry. Sweet Corn and Tangerine Twist for the anchor and Red Velvet, Tranquil Teal Sweet Corn and Obsideon Amalgam Inks for everything else.

My last card was a quick and easy one using a wreath builder template. The center was ink blended with Bubblegum Pink and Turquoise Sea GKD inks. I cut one of the sentiments from the set in half so that it would fit nicely in the middle when stamped. To finish my card off, several white embellishments were added.

The entire new January release is now available at:

That concludes Day 2 of the hop. Join us tomorrow for the last day and some inspiration featuring this month's card hit A Big Hello.

Thanks for dropping by! Your next stop on the hop is Sheri Gilson.

Both cards are one layer. The first card features the Heartfelt stencil that is included in this month's card kit. For my second card I used one of the Fancy Border dies called Tiny Hearts Border. I did a bit of distressing on the solid red heart for a bit of interest.
