 Hello!  Today I have a card and matching tag, made with Gina K Designs Spring Bouquets stamp set.  I used watercolors for the coloring and added white highlights with a gel pen. For the sentiment I used the Congrats die from Congrats and Hooray die set from Alex Syberia Designs and a smaller sentiment from Gina K Happy Bouquet set.  To make the background, I did simple ink-blending with Distress Oxide inks and splattered some water and metallic paint. Lastly, I added Gold Glitter Drops from Pinkfresh Studio. Thank you for stopping by and see you next time with another project. Anna

 Hello! I have a set of three Christmas cards made with the newest Poinsettia Background stamp from Gina K Designs October release.  I decided to make three cards today, using the same set with different mediums - watercolors, colouring pencils and alcohol markers.  First I stamped the background stamp on to different papers with black ink. I used Gina K Designs Amalgam ink because it is suitable for all three mediums. I also used my stamping platform from Tim Holtz to make sure the images are nice and crisp.  After colouring all the panels I cut the middle part out and adhered them with foam tape to a card bases. I stamped sentiment from an older set directly between the panels and added gems.  That's it!  Thanks for stopping by! Anna 

 Hi! I am in the Miss Ink Stamps blog with a super moody autumn birthday card featuring the Scene Builder: Treeline Stencil and Eieio Frame die set from Miss Ink Stamps.  I started with my background. I used the Treeline stencil and array of Distress Oxide inks to create this moody fall inspired forest. I added water and metalic splatters to imitate rain and to add shine.  I wanted to keep this card simple and with focus on the background so decided to use alphabet from the Eieio Frame die set - cut from black cardstock.  I arranged, then adhered my greeting to top portion of my card panel with clear glue and added few Dazzle Stars.  Visit Miss Ink Stamps for all the products.

 Hello everyone!  I am super excited to be a guest designer for Alex Syberia Designs September release. It is their anniversary release and it is packed with fantastic stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil plates. I've had so much fun using all the new products and I have a card and tag combo to share with you. I've used the newest Timeless Blooms Celebration stamp set featuring layering stamps with coordinating dies .  I started with stamping all of the layers from Timeless Blooms Celebration stamp set with dye inks. I also die cut the other half for my circles using white and gold glitter cardstock.  For the background I did ink blending using Distress Oxide inks and metalic paint.  I wanted to coordinate my card with tag using colour pallette and sentiments and greetings from Floral Balloon Extravaganza stamp set are just perfect for it. I used black ink to stamp them directly onto the backgrounds.  As a finishing touches I chose to add ribbon bow to both - card and tag. I a

 Hello everyone! The new August release from Gina K Designs is already in shops and I have a mini slimline card made with the fantastic Wonderful Watsonia stamp set and watercolors.  I started with stamping and colouring the images from the set. I used Daniel Smith's watercolors in muted shades of pink, purple and orange. I die cut everything out with coordinating dies and added white highlights with gel pen.  Next I did the background. I used Distress Oxide inks to create soft pink backdrop and splattered water and metalic paint all over it.  Before assembling I stamped sentiment from the same set directly on to the inked background with black ink. I adhered my flowers with foam squares and trimmed the excess.  That's it!  Don't forget to visit Gina K Designs for all the new fantastic products and come back soon for more inspiration.  Anna
