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.

Time on the Beach

Hello!  I am sharing a card that I have made with a beach theme.  I used some very old stamps from a Flourishes  set which is now retired.  I stamped the images with  Distress Oxide inks and then water colored with the DOI and a water brush.   Four stamps from this set were used in creating the card. I used a Kraft mat and a blue card base to finish.  Making this short since deadline is near.

Challenges:

Burst of Flowers

Hello!  Monday, I was inspired by the post on Power Poppy by Julie when she showed a quick way to create a card using stippling to add a burst of color.  I was so inspired that I made this quick card which took just a few minutes to make.  I followed the steps she used and  used the same Memento green inks that she used but used Memento red inks for the flowers but they showed up looking more pink than red.  I used Power Poppy Geraniums Take Two set for my image and a sentiment from Dahlias XL set.  I added some splatters of green to the image.  I trimmed the image with Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle die and placed on a background of a patterned paper from Pink Paislee Color Wash pad.  Used a white card base.  Other supplies: Stipple Brushes, Water brush.  Loved how this turned out and how quickly it came together.  Thanks to Julie for the inspiration.
