Hello! Today a few of our illustrators are showcasing their new stamp sets. My new stamp set is called Country Roads, and features image you would see driving out in the country. I designed this set to compliment one of my past stamp sets,
Farm Life, but it will also work nicely with some of the images from
Autumn Beauty.

Tomorrow, at 11am Central, all the new stamp sets will become available at
Gina K Designs and you can also pop over to
StampTV for a fun release party!
To begin, I used the largest of
Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Ovals LG, to cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock. Then I sponged with Memento Cantaloupe ink.
Sponged Memento Rose Bud.
Then sponged Memento Summer Sky.
Sponged Memento Grape Jelly.
Sponged Memento Gray Flannel.
I masked the top with a sticky note, then sponged Memento Tuxedo Black.
Stamped the silhouette grass with Memento Gray Flannel.
Stamped the windmill with Memento Tuxedo Black.
I set that aside and stamped the truck on Pure Luxury White, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
Began coloring with my B21 Copic marker.
Added B23.
Added B26.
Added C5 to shade and color the tires.
Added C3 to the tires, windows and bumper.
Added W5 to the tires. After coloring, I cut out the truck.
I layered with Pure Luxury In The Nave (cut with Spellbinders Labels 18) and used a Little Boy Blue card base (
4 ¼ by 5 ½ inches). I used Spellbinders new Card Creator A2 Basics B to emboss a frame on my card base. The sentiment was cut out and adhered with Pop Dots.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful Monday!
