Hi there! It's inspiration time at Gina K Designs! Today the design team will be featuring three of the new January Release stamp sets, along with some of the wonderful new Color Companions products. First up is a card made with Melanie Muenchinger's wonderful new
Stately Flowers 6, the latest in her series of state flowers. I also used the new Gina K Innocent Pink ink pad on the sponged background!
All the details for this card are below.
Next is a fun new set from Beth Silaika, called
Lovely Ladybug. This set is adorable! It has everything you need to make fun ladybug cards. So many of the elements in this set are perfect for graphic designs, too. I was inspired to make a gear/cog type of background on this card.
My third card features an exciting new set by Carolyn King,
Stamp It Big! I love the bold, chunky sentiments in this set. They are perfect for focal images and scrapbook pages. Plus, Carolyn included a bunch of fun graphic elements. The possibilities are endless with this set! The buttons and ribbon on this card are from the new
Color Companions Buttons and Ribbons!

Here are the step by step photos for the Stately Flowers 6 card…
I stamped the Mountain Laurel image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then began coloring with Copic markers, starting with R89.
Added R29.
Added R24.
Added R22, leaving just a small bit of uncolored bits on each petal.
Then I used my blender pen on the highlight areas, letting some of the red leach into those areas to blend.
For the leaves, I filled in with YG25.
Then shaded with YG95. After coloring, I cut out the image.
Using Spellbinders new Decorative Labels Twenty-two, I cut a piece of white card stock, then used Gina K
Innocent Pink ink to sponge.
Next I cut another piece, using the larger die template from the Decorative Labels Twenty-two, from Gina K
Love Letters pattern paper. I layered Pure Luxury Innocent Pink card stock, Black Onyx card stock and used a white card base. I threaded a piece of wide, black satin ribbon through the pattern paper. The flowers were adhered to the background using Pop Dots.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous day!
