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.
ReplyDeleteTwo 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
ReplyDeleteLove these! The little bird id the perfect addition and those purples are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove the first card it's so soft and pretty with the orange and yellow hues with the pop of black!

I can't say anything except WOW, JUST WOW,
ReplyDeleteBoth 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!
ReplyDeleteHi Teresa, Just gorgeous...both of them. Lovely color blends.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
