 Hello all!  The newest Gina K release is here and I have a birthday card made with the new Poppies and Peonies stamp set to share. I used the huge floral cluster from the set and colored it with alcohol marker in bright colors. I also added white highlights and die cut it with coordinating dies.  Next I did simple ink blending with Distress Oxide Inks and splattered some metallic paint and water. I adhered the florals with foam tape and stamped sentiment from the same set in black ink directly on to a background.  Lastly I added few gems from my stash and that's it!

 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 

Hi there!   Gina K Designs July release is now available in store and I have matching set of birthday card and  tag to share.  First I stamped this huge daisy from the Devine Daisy stamp set on white cardstock with black alcohol marker friendly ink twice. I used my Ohuhu markers to colour it and cut it out with coordinating dies.  For the backgrounds I masked off parts of my card front and tag.

I also added water splatters and some metalic paint.  Before assembling, I stamped sentiments directly on to white panels with black ink. I used foam squares to add my florals to the backgrounds. I made sure to cut off everything that was hanging over the edges and added white highlights with gel pen.  To finish of both, card and tag I scattered few gems and that's it!  Thanks for stopping by!  Anna

 Hi there!  New Gina K Designs release is now available. My card is featuring the Fabulous Flamingos stamp set and alcohol ink background.  I created this quick background with my alcohol inks and yupo paper. I wanted something soft and sky like.  I decided to use my favourite Daviel Smith's watercolors to colour in the images from stamp set and fussy cut them with scissors.  I used arch die from my stash to die cut the window and mounted inked background behind it. I adhered all the images using foam squares. For the greeting I chose one of the sentiment from the stamp set. The only thing left was to add some lovely sparkles and white highlights.  Lastly I added my card front to a slightly larger white card base with foam tape.

 Hello Everyone!  Today's card features the newly released Warmest Winter Wishes stamp set from Gina K Designs September 2022 Release.   For my card, I decided to do first and second-generation stamping. I wanted this to be both simple and full of depth and using this particular technique allowed me to achieve that. My first step was to stamp one of the silhouette winter trees with Gina K Designs Christmas Pine Dye Ink . I stamped it once and instead of reinking my stamp - I stamped with it again. I also used the Fresh Asparagus Dye Ink from Gina K Designs and continued with stamping until I was happy with my background.  My next step was to stamp the greeting from the same set directly onto my card front. I used Gina K Designs Amalgam Obsydian Ink.  To finish this card I added metallic splatters and a few white and light blue Nuvo drops. I also rounded off the edges of the card front and adhered it to a slightly larger card base with foam tape.  I ha...
