Gina K Inspiration Hop Day 3

Hello! Today is the third day of Inspiration from the Gina K Designs DT. The final stamp set we are featuring is the new Free With Three stamp set, Fresh Start. This sweet set comes free with the purchase of three other stamp sets!

There are more details about my card below, but for now be sure to cheek out what the rest of the design team has come up with...


  • Gina K
  • Giovana Smith
  • Jennie Harper
  • Jimmi Mayo
  • Lori McAree
  • Melanie Muenchinger
  • Michelle Woerner
  • Sharon Harnist
  • Theresa Momber
  • Tina Gilliland
  • Vicki Dutcher
  • AJ Otto
  • Carolina Buchting
  • Cathy Tidwell
  • Donna Baker
  • Emily Giovanni


    • I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock with Spellbinders Labels 23 and sponged Memento Bamboo Leaves while still in the die.

    I stamped the potted flowers directly onto the background. To ink the image, I used my Memento Potter's Clay ink pad for the pot, then used Cantaloupe, Tangelo and Bamboo Leaves Memento markers to ink up the flowers.

    I used BV000 and BV11 Copic markers to add some shading to the pot and flowers.

    I cut a curve from a sticky note and used it as a mask. Then I sponged Memento Rich Cocoa ink.

    Removed the mask and added a shadow under the pot with N3 Copic.

    I stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

    I layered with Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus, Pumpkin Spice and a piece of the new Casual Friday pattern paper. The card base is Creme de Menthe. I added score lines to the card base with my Scor-Pal.

    Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
