Making life brighter one card at a time
I almost forgot to do my daily card today so this was a quick one for the Tic Tac Toe challenge using ‘yellow, ink blending and flowers’. I’m also submitting it for the Stamping Sensations challenge of summer flowers. It also works for the Use Your Stuff sunshine challenge too!
Supplies used, all by Gina K Designs:
This month the challenge over on the Gina K Designs blog is for a black and white card with one pop of colour. This is my card – I had to use my favourite colour of blue for my colour pop. Using the Fluttering Fall stencils and Happy Flowers stamp set.
A quick card tonight trying out the technique using water based markers to add extra colour shading. A fun and easy technique to play with. This card was made for this week’s CAS Colour and Sketches challenge.
I used the Wild Blossoms stamp set by Gina K Designs.
I decided to do this week’s Tic Tac Toe blog challenge – and my card would work for two rows:
Another challenge completed this evening – this time for a triple time stamping technique for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog challenge.
I decided to heat emboss the stamped images in gold and ink blended the layers using Blue Lagoon and Turquoise Sea inks by Gina K Designs. The cardstock is Tranquil Teal and the images are from the Holiday Tapestry stamp set. The sentiment is from one of the pre-printed sheets from Gina K.
Still using ink off my blending brushes – who knew they’d hold so much?! I just felt like an uplifting personal sentiment on this one. Day 2 of my 100 Days Project to do a craft of some sort every day.
Using Ocean Minded stamp set, a sentiment from Zen Flowers. The starfish is actually a poinsettia stamp from the Holiday Wreath Builder stamp set and I dabbed the centre with the corner of my coral reef ink cube to fill it in 🙂 Also heat embossed the waves with Gina’s puffy white embossing powder.
This card was created to honour Gina K Designs for all that Gina, Tom and the team do for us crafters every week. Customer service is second to none, and I continue to learn from the selfless sharing of knowledge every single week, not to mention their sense of humour and compassion. All products today are by Gina K Designs. Using Mega Flower stencil, still using up ink left on my brushes (unbelievable), butterflies from Warm Spring Wishes, sentiment from Let’s Celebrate, and Midnight sequins on the butterfly bodies.
And that’s also day 1 of #100daysproject2022 for me. I decided I had too much fun with CardMaynia so I signed up to continue going! Here’s the month of May all completed!
One of my favourite recent stamp set purchases is by Gina K Designs called Friendly Silhouettes. I finally had chance to create with it for the first time today and just love it! I used whatever inks were left on my brushes for the ink blending and I’m pretty happy with the results. It also worked out ok for the Colour Throwdown challenge #693, which was an unexpected bonus 😉
Day 11 of my personal CardMaynia challenge – and slowly using up some backgrounds I created last year. This was using Autumn Silhouettes stamp set with Tomato Soup and Chocolate Truffle cardstock from Gina K Designs. Sentiment from Time to Coast (I masked off the second line of text). I can’t remember which reinkers were used for the leaves sorry.
A little hello stencil by Gina K Designs finally turned into a card after being ink blended months ago. Slowly working through my pile of backgrounds.
