Gina K April Release Hop Day 3

 Hello! Today the Gina K Design Team is spotlighting another new set, What's The Dirt. This set has a wonderful variety of spring images and fun sentiments!

For more inspiration be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has to show you...


I used Copic markers to colors the flower pots. I started with Y17 for the flower centers, then added YR07.

Filled in the petals with Y21.

Then used YR12 to blend the orange and yellow. I used YG23 for the leaves.

For the pots, I started with E31 and used my blender pen to soften the edges of the highlights.

Added E15.

Then added E19. After coloring, I cut out the image.

I cut a scallop circle using Nestabilites and sponged very lightly with Memento Bamboo Leaves while still in the die.

I cut a layer of the new Pure Luxury color, Key Lime using Spellbinders Fleur De Lis pendant die. The sentiment is from Garden Silhouettes and is layered with Pure Luxury Wild Dandelion. The background layer is Lemon Drop which I embossed with my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder.

Thanks for coming by. I hope your day is filled with stamping fun!
