Hello! Today the Gina K Designs Team are featuring a new incentive stamp set called Handmade Botanicals. For my first card, I used one of the images to create the background and a second, stamped in Black Onyx, for the focal image. I also snuck in the bird and sentiment from my new set, Birds and Blossoms 2.
I love the images in this set!
For my second card I used three different botanicals, two for the background and one for the focal image. I offset the image panel to the left and stamped the Vertical Greetings 2 sentiment next to it, framing it with a raised, embossed rectangle.
Please enjoy the gorgeous inspiration samples from the team and then comment on each blog for your chance to win a gift certificate to Gina K Designs! To see who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop.

Love the bird and the amazing colors on your first card!!! Love the coloring on the second card as well, and the creative embossing - so elegant. Beautiful cards.
Two fabulous cards here and I especially like the first one with it's wonderful, warm colours. I've just had a look at the other blogs and it never fails to amaze me that you can give crafters the same stamps and they will all come up with something completely different! The stamps are gorgeous though and you have all used them beautifully X
Love these! The little bird id the perfect addition and those purples are fabulous!
Love the first card it's so soft and pretty with the orange and yellow hues with the pop of black!
These are Gorgeous Theresa! I love the bird resting on the flower. Beautiful! And then the softness of the purple background... Love it! :) <3

Really beautiful cards you created with this new set of stamps. I especially love the first one. The bird on the top of the floral is really cool!
Both cards are so pretty, I really like the bird on top of the floral too!
Oh my, you have used these silhouette stamps perfectly here. Your sponging, as always, is perfect. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!!
The colors on these are stunning. The black just sets these stamps off against your backgrounds.

I can't say anything except WOW, JUST WOW,
Both cards are wonderful, but the first card is gorgeous! This is not the first time I have caught myself thinking that I would like to be "in" your cards! :-) You create so many scenes that I wish I could be a part of... just out of the frame!
Hi Teresa, Just gorgeous...both of them. Lovely color blends.
I am glad I made it to the end to see your cards.
Every time there is a blog hop I am always fascinated by the variety of styles between the team members, and often how one designer can create many different variations as well. I also really like how the font of your greeting / sentiment is so similar to the Scripty Sayings.
I also hope that you are continuing to do well healthwise.
Your cards are beautiful. It is to hard to pick a favorite. So I won't

Stunning cards, the botanicals work fabulously as silhouettes!
The word "PEACEFUL" seems to best describe these cards! So very nice!
Gorgeous cards! Beautiful sponging, as always!
These cards are so peaceful and calming...Love them! Thank you for sharing!
This new incentive stamp set goes so well with your lovely nature stamp sets. A perfect combination!
Beautiful! Can't wait to get started!
Beautiful sunset on the first card. And the purple adds such a serene look to the second card. I also like the idea of an offset focal image.
Beautiful cards Theresa
Your sunset in the marsh is fabulous; the bird seems to enjoying day's end.
The embossed rectangles highlight your lavender still life so beautifully. Handmade botanicals is on my wish list for sure, after seeing your cards and all the other wonderful ideas in this blog hop.
Beautiful botanical cards. I like how you added a bird to the first one.
Such gorgeous botanicals!!! Love how you did the front image and background images!! Love the lighting and layout in the second one!!!
I love the muted look of using the sponged background color on some of the leaves. Great technique.
Simply gorgeous!!!
As usual you've made some gorgeous cards. I just love how you create scenes. I keep trying but mine never look like yours - maybe one day.
