Today using Theresa Momber's new set:
Elegant Floral's
I made this one using Gina K. Designs 
Pure Luxury Card Stock in Kraft and stamped 
the open leaf image with versa mark then stamped 
the solid image & sentiment with Gina K.'s Black Ink, 
added images to the inside & bling. 

*****
Last week I was inspired by the video where Melanie
showed the Bokeh technique. I thought this would
 be a good image to try it on. I made several panels
 until I got one or two that worked. 
The base of the card is Grass Green & DP from the 6x6 
paper pack Shabby Spring & One of the panels that 
has the Bokeh technique on it. I added a piece of acetate 
for the front cover and attached the second panel, 
and Gina K. Designs Bubble Gum Pink Twine.
 The charm was a incentive gift!
Fussy cut the Flower & popped it up! 
The Bokeh backgrounds are done in Gina K Designs 
Powder Blue, Bubble Gum Pink, Grass Green, & White Inks.
The flower is colored with Spectrum Noir Markers & Pencils! 

*******
Using Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury Card Stock in Heavy Base & Layering
 Weight -White, Tomato Soup, &Kraft. 
Inks are White, Black, Tomato Soup, Sweet Mango, & Sweet Corn, & Fresh Asparagus. Black Onyx Gingham Ribbon. 
 For the image, I used the Kraft card stock, stamped the flowers in White,
 then tapping the ink pad in the lid to get a little color,
 I used a small brush and a tiny amount of water and colored
 in the flowers & steam. Using the different colors, layering
 them as they dried! Went back with white and highlighted
 the flowers. Using a sponge dauber I applied white around
 the flower panel. I used a embossing folder on the Tomato Soup Layer, & used a punch to cut out the Vellum. Added the bling! :)
