Hello and welcome to a Gina K Designs Inspiration Blog Hop. Today the design team are featuring projects made with two new stamp sets, from Gina K Designs. First up is a is a set I illustrated, called, Mountain Wilderness.
More details about this card below.
Next is a gorgeous new set from Melanie Muenchinger, the second in her Stately Flowers series. I just love these beautiful flowers! I stamped the image with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I colored with Copics, adding a drop shadow around the flower with Copics also.
For more inspiration, be sure to check out what the rest of the team has to show you...
For the Mountain Wilderness card, I started with a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock, cut to 3 3/4 and 5 inches. Then I sponged Memento Summer Sky at the top.
Used a sticky note, cut with circle Nestabilities, as a mask and sponged lightly with Memento Danube Blue ink.
I removed the moon mask and added a new mask, again made by tearing sticky notes. I placed the mask over the sky and sponged Memento Danube Blue ink again.
Moved the mask lower and sponged more Danube Blue.
I removed the mask and tore a new mask at a steeper angle, placed on the side and sponged more Danube Blue.
I stamped the silhouette trees with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then did some ghost stamping to make some trees appear more distant.
Then I stamped the taller trees on one side, masking the bottom so it would match up with the smaller trees.
Sponged Memento Grape Jelly along the top.
Stamped the silhouette wolf with Stazon Black ink.
I tore another mask to fit where the wolf is standing and sponged Memento Paris Dusk, below the mask and all along the bottom.
Then sponged Memento Tuxedo Black.
Moved the mask and sponged a little more Tuxedo Black ink.
I stamped the sentiment along the side and added some piercing in the opposite corner. I layered with Pure Luxury In The Navy and used a Baby Boy Blue card base. The finished size is 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inches.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
