Gina K Day 2 - Best Fishes

Today's preview is a brand new Gina K Designs set, called Best Fishes. It will be available for purchase Thursday evening, after the release party in the Gina K forums. Not only are the images in this set so cute, they are also great for creating a little underwater scene.

For more samples using Best Fishes and Asela Hopkin's new set, be sure to visit the rest of the design team.

Here is a step by step tutorial of how I made this card...


First I stamped the mirror from Perfectly Polished (available from Gina K Designs on Thursday).
Next I created a mask by punching a circle in a piece of scrap paper. I used re-positionable tape to hold it in place, masking all but the reflective portion of the mirror.

I stamped the fish from Best Fishes onto smooth piece of scrap rubber to pick up the reverse image, and then stamped that onto the mirror. Then I removed the mask.

I don't have a reverse image stamp, so had to improvise. If you don't have one, you can use a piece of rubber like I did (I saved a large scrap when cutting a stamp set a few months ago), but you could also use acetate.

Next I added some additional images to create a scene. The lipstick is from Perfectly Polished.

Colored the images with Copic markers.

Tore a piece of copy paper to form a mask to create a sea bottom. I used re-positionable tape again to hold it in place.

Next I used Bashful Blue and Ballet Blue ink to sponge in the sea water background.

Used another mask to sponge in the sea bottom, using So Saffron and just a bit of Creamy Caramel.
After I removed the mask, I took a fine tipped black marker and added a few speckles and lines to help "ground" the seaweed and mirror. I also used a gray Copic marker to add some subtle shadows.


And here is a close up of the finished project. Thanks for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with the final day of previews showcasing two more new Gina K sets, plus a special "new" product. Hmm, I wonder what it could be...

Have a great day!
