Strength and Hope

Hello! Tonight is the new release for Gina K Designs and here is a peak at my new stamp set, Strength and Hope. The release party is at StampTV tonight from 7 to 9 pm Central and immediately following the party, all the new stamps and products will become available in the online store. 

To begin, I stamped the lily/ribbon image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers, starting with RV19. 

Added RV25. 

Added RV23. 

Then filled in with R81.

For the flowers I started with YR02. 

Added YR000. 

Added RV23 to the base of the petals. 

Then added a tiny bit of RV25 at the base of the petals. I also added some "freckles" with the same marker by just barely touching the tip of the marker to the petals. 





I added a drop shadow to the image using C3.

Used oval Nestabilities to cut out the image, then sponged around the edges with Memento Angel Pink. 

Then I sponged very lightly with Memento Rose Bud ink. I actually didn't ind up my sponge dauber, but instead used the residual ink left of the sponge from previous use. 

For the embossed background, I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock to 2 3/4 by 5 1/2 inches. I placed it on my Scor-Pal at an angle and scored every 1/2 inch. Then I rotated the paper 180 degrees and scored every 1/2 inch again, creating the harlequin pattern. 

After scoring, I turned over the card stock and sponged on the raised side using Memento Angel Pink ink. Next, I sponged very lightly with Memento Rose Bud.  (sorry, I didn't get a photo of that step).

I layered with Pure Luxury Passionate Pink and used Innocent Pink to create my 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 inch card base. The sentiment is stamped directly on the card base. I used Pop Dots to adhere the layers to the card base. 

I also used my Star Dust Glitter pen  to add some sparkle to the flowers. You can't see it well in the other photos, but you can see it a bit in this close up.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a great day!
