Gina K Inspiration Hop Day One

Hello! Today the Gina K Design Team are blog hopping to share ideas using the new stamp sets from our October release. Today we are featuring two sets, Vogue Vases 2 and Stately Flowers 5. My first card uses images from Vogue Vases 2, a stamp set I illustrated as a follow up to the original Vogue Vases. More details about this card below. 

 Next up is my card using Stately Flowers 5. This is the fifth in a series of stamp sets illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger, showcasing the official flower of each state. The images in all these sets are stunning! I love this sunflower. I'll post the step by step photos for this card later this week. 

Be sure to check out the samples from the rest of the team!

 To begin, I sponged Memento Summer Sky ink on Pure Luxury White card stock.

Then I sponged Memento Danube Blue ink.

Sponged Memento Paris Dusk ink.

I stamped the branch using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Then stamped another image, using Memento Paris Dusk ink, but stamped off on scratch paper before stamping on my scene, to make the image lighter.

I colored in the flowers using V04 Copic marker.

Then I stamped the vase on Parisian Garden pattern paper, using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Then colored in the vase using BV13. 

And added shading with BV17. After coloring, I cut out the vase.

I adhered the vase to the background using Pop Dots. Then I layered with Pure Luxury In The Navy, Vibrant Purple and White. The 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inch card base is Little Boy Blue. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and adhered using Pop Dots.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope your day is fantastic!
