Here is the first card I made with the new Kit:
Flowers & Frames

I enjoyed water coloring & making this card!!!

I used the Pure Luxury Card Stock in:

Cherry Red, White Layering Weight

Gina K. Inks : Black Onyx, Powder Blue, & Fresh Asparagus

Patterned Paper is: Floral Essentials

Twine - Red Hot

I used water color paper & Spectrum Noir Water Color Markers for

the flowers, Mason Jar, & the window sill.

The background is done with the Powder Blue Ink & water

*******

Up next is this little 4x4 card made with the Awesome Die

that matches the Frame Stamp in this Kit!

Using Pure Luxury Card Stock: Heavy Base & Layering Weight White & Cherry Red

Patterned Paper - Floral Essentials Ink - Cherry Red

I cut the frame out of the Layering Weight White Card Stock, & the PP

Glued the White & PP frame layers together.

The White Layering Weight piece I cut the frame out of, I embossed with the folder.

Taped down the Red Cherry CS, added the White embossed layer.

Stamped & taped down the sentiment. Popped up the frame.

Added the Patterned Paper that I used to cut the frame out of to the inside.

That way I still have a space to write a message on!

*******

I did the 3 steps with the Large Rose…

I stamped the Rose with Gina K. Designs Inks in:

Sweet Corn, Sweet Mango, & Tomato Soup on White Layering Weight Card Stock

The Leaves in Fresh Asparagus Ink on Jelly Bean Green Card Stock

Die cut both out with the dies in the kit.

The Background was made by sponging & splattering Powder Blue Ink

on a piece of Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White Card Stock.

I added a piece of the patterned paper from the Floral Essentials Patterned Paper Pack.

Stamped the Sentiment in Black Onyx Ink. I also use some of the same PP with some Powder Blue Card Stock to the inside. Added some Black Onyx Twine. I also added White Gel Pen to the Rose for Highlights & some of the White Pearls from Gina K. Designs.

I added a white dot from my stash to the bottom corner to finish it!

*******

For my Last Card

I used the Square Die to cut out this Gorgeous Frame & the inside.

I sponged the inside square with Fresh Asparagus Ink & stamped the sentiment in Black Onyx Ink.

The Frame is Embossed with Gina K. Designs Black Embossing Powder.

Before mounting, I used Gina K.'s Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight - White Card Stock,

& stamped the two different sized flowers. I colored the flowers with Spectrum Noir Pencils. Then added the Sentiment & Frame

I stamped 3 more flowers on a smaller layer & colored them the same way! Layered that on a piece of Black Onyx Card Stock and mounted it to the inside. Added black pearls & some bling! :)
