I'm so excited to be previewing my newest stamp set for Gina K Designs, today! It is called Life is Good, and it is full of outdoorsy images, great for making masculine or scene cards and pages. On this first card, I used colors from the color challenge at SCS today. I colored the log cabin with Copics and cut it out, then sponged the background.
On this sample, I sponged the background first and then stamped the grass, trees and deer for a tranquil scene card that would be appropriate for nearly any occasion.Warm and Wonderful
I just love this new set from Rupa Shevde, called Warm and Wonderful. It has everything you need to make winter themed cards.For even more ways to use these fabulous stamp sets, please check our Designer's blogs participating in the previews today:

I used Copics to color the images, starting with E57, E55 and E51 on the cocoa and marshmallows.
Added BG07 to the mug.
Added B04.
Added B02.
Filled in with B00.
I did the scarf in much the same way. Started with BG07.
Added B04.
Added B02.
Filled in with B00.
I added G24 around the snowflake.
Filled in with G21.
I colored in the mittens the same way as the scarf.
I used my Labels 1 Nestabilities to cut the background layers, sponging Creamy Caramel on the white layer, while still in the die. The images were all cut out and adhered with Pop Dots. The DP is Kim Hughes Mocha Chica. Additional layers are Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss and Tan Leather. Those nifty big scallops were made using my new EK Success border punch and the top layer and card base are the new Pure Luxury color, Ocean Mist.
I'll post the step by step photos, for the two Life is Good cards, later this week, so forgive me if for the repetition. I didn't want this post to get too photo heavy and I know a lot of my viewers really like the step by step photos.
