Thinking of You

Welcome to my studio.  Today I am sharing a card that I made for the Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K Designs.  We are to make a Black and White card with a pop of one other color.  I used a floral stamp from GKD Whimsical Wildflowers set that I stamped with Black Ink and water colored with GKD Medium Carnation and Passionate Pink inks. The sentiment also stamped with black ink is from GKD Pretty Posy.   I inked the edges of the stamped panel with a Black Copic marker instead of using a cardstock mat before attaching to a White Cardstock base.  Finished by adding some Black Crystals to the center of the flowers.

Summer Birthday Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing a card that I made using a GKD Stencil that was inspired by a GKD video called  5 Minute Card Easy Stenciled Mini Slimline Card.  I used the same stencil but changed it up by making a A2 card instead of a slimline card. I used the stencil, a stamp, and inks from the GKD Watercolor Spring Card Kit. My card base is GKD Innocent Pink CS and the Green mat is from my paper stash.

Fun with Stenciling

Hello and welcome! It has been a while since I created a card using a stencil so thought it was time to do so.  I inked a white card stock with Gina K Ornamental Fans stencil using GKD Blue Raspberry and Fresh Asparagus inks and trimmed it to use as a background on my design, Stamped the flowers with Memento Back ink and heat embossed with Clear EP. I water colored the image with the same inks used in the background. I die cut the flowers and popped up with some white foam. I stamped and die cut   the word Hello and also popped up with foam. Finished the card with a White Card Base and Black mat. I really like these colors together and how the design came together since I did not have a plan in mind when I began. Stamps and Dies from Gina K Designs.

Water+Ink=Birthday Card

Welcome! I have another entry for the Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K designs. The  January challenge is to use Gina K Inks with water to create a card.  I blended Gina K Fresh Asparagus ink on Gina K white cardstock and the spritzed with water that had some Perfect Pearls mixed in.  Loved the effect...hope you can see in the photo.  Stamped some trees and sentiment from Gina K Northwoods stamp set with Gina K Black ink. Die cut with a Spellbinders Die and simply attached to a Gina K Black cardstock base. Really like this clean and simple masculine card!

Playing With Gina K Inks and Water

Hello! Second post today....something other than Christmas cards.

Today I have been playing with the Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K designs. The challenge is to use Gina K Inks with water to create a card. I inked a panel of white GKD Cardstock with GKD ink Barely There and spritzed with water, but I did not get the effect that I wanted.....think the ink was too light to show. I stamped the panel with a GKD stamp from Thank You Friend set with GKD Black ink. Using a water brush and GKD Fresh Asparagus ink, I water colored the leaves and stems of the image. I die cut the image with an oval die and layered on to a die cut layer of GKD Grass Green cardstock. I finished by using a card base of Coral CS layered with the leftover panel and the layered image. I will add a sentiment when I use the card.
