Hello! It's that time again. The Gina K Design Team are hopping with inspiration ideas for the new stamp sets released just last night. First up is such a wonderful set from Melanie Muenchinger, called Stately Flowers. This is filled with stunning floral images of state flowers and the best part is it is just the first in a series of sets featuring state flowers. Since I'm from California, I had to use this beautiful California Poppy on my card.
And next is a set that is the perfect compliment to Stately Flowers, called Make a Statement. I love the gorgeous butterfly in this set! The sentiments are so fun and will go so well with all the up coming state flower stamp sets.
Next up is a cute little mini set, or Duo, called Close Knit Friends. What perfect stocking stuffers these little Duos will make.
Now let's see what the rest of the team has to show you...
To make the first card, I started by stamping the poppy with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics, starting with YR07.
Added YR04.
Added YR12.
Added Y17.
I filled in with Y000, then deepened the shading a tiny bit with R08.
For the flower center, I filled in with Y21, then shaded with E49 and E19.
Used G05 on the stems and foliage.
Then added YG95.
Then added some shading around the image with BV00 and BV11.
I sponged around the edges with Memento Cantaloupe ink.
Then sponged with Memento Desert Sand.
Stamped "California Poppy" with Memento Bamboo Leaves.
For the sentiment layer I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then stamped the decorative line with Memento Bamboo Leaves. I sponged the edges the same way as the focal image.
I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and used a Fresh Asparagus card base. I used a corner rounder to round the corners.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
