Sharing a couple of cards made with the New Stamp Set – Today and Always by: Lisa Hetrick This set is so much fun to create with if you are just wanting to stamp the images or do a water color look. She makes it easy with this set!

Gina K. Designs: Stamp Set – Today and Always
Pure Luxury Card Stock – White Heavy Base Weight, & Blue Lagoon
Premium Dye Ink – Coral Reef, Blue Lagoon, Peach Bellini
Amalgam Ink – Jet Black Connect Glue, Foam Squares
Watercolor Paper, Black Pearls, & Twine

For this card I masked off the top and bottom part leaving a open space. Then I grabbed a acrylic block and inked it up using Gina K. Designs Mini Dye Ink Cubes and smooched ink all over the block. Spritzed the paper lightly and then sprayed the block with the ink on it. Flipped it over and placed in on the watercolor paper in the center that wasn’t masked off. Let is set for a minute and lifted it off. Let it dry really well then placed the panel in my Misti and inked up the flowers and leaves and stamped them. Because it is watercolor paper and has texture I had to stamp then a few times! Same with the Greeting. It is inked up with the Jet Black – Amalgam Ink. Added the panel to a layer of Blue Lagoon Card Stock and add the Twine. Popped it up on a Card Base!

Next Card is one I used the Awesome Polka Dot Stamp that is in this Set! ❤

Gina K. Designs January 2019 Release Featuring Open Book By: Melanie Muenchinger

January 25, 2019January 25, 2019by karenrhightower2 Comments

The Illustrators did a fantastic job on their sets and I couldn’t wait to share my cards with you all!

On this card I stamped the Book and Cat on Watercolor paper using the Amalgam Jet Black Ink, my Misti and then grabbed Daniel Smith watercolors and had fu coloring in the cat. While it was drying I stamped the background with the Diagonal Striped Background Stamp in Key Lime and then turned the paper and stamped it again in the Tangerine Twist. Cut the book out and popped it up on the background and layered it with the Black Onyx Card Stock. Then attached it all to the White Heavy Base Card Base.

Gina K. Designs:
Stamp Set – Open Book
Background Stamp – Diagonal Stripes

For my Next Card made with Melanie Muenchinger’s New Open Book Stamp Set, I saw it and wanted to create a card that looked like a color chart or a art journal. So this is what I came up with!
