Tomato Soup, & Kraft Card Stock with the pumpkin stamped on Ivory.
 I also used Gina K Design Dk. Choc. Embossing Powder.

 of a piece of Ivory Heavy Base Card Stock from Gina K Design.

I colored the frame in with a Spectrum Noir Marker.

some of these in sets of 6 or 8 to give as Christmas Gifts.

I used the New Stamp Set "Fabulous Frame Fillers"

Water Coloring!!!

Good Evening Everyone!

I sure hope you all had a great day. Mine was busy

and full of laughs with the grandkids watching Rio 2.

  Now I'm pooped.

I'm taking online classes for watercoloring. Just really learning.

 I skimmed through and only really watched the videos 

that I liked the projects. Not all water coloring appeals to me, 

so I took what I liked and left the rest behind.

Wanted to get these two cards posted before I forgot.

On the first one, I used a stamp set duo by Gina K Designs 

" My Most Favorite "using Black Onyx ink.

.  I also used Jelly Bean, and Black Onyx card stock and Ribbon 

from Gina K Designs. The top layer is water color paper. 

WATER COLOR # 01

 This next card was fun to create. First I stamped the

 Magnolia from the Stately Flowers 3 set

 by Melanie Muenchenger.

 I masked the flower with rubber cement & I used

 Gina K Designs Powder Blue and

 Navy Inks to do my background water color. 

I love that I can use my Gina K Inks

 for water coloring. I then used water color pencils 

on the flower. Once dried I used Carolyn King's Elegant Flourishes

 stamped in versa mark.

 Heat set. Using Gina K Designs Black Ink I stamped the sentiment

 from the stamp set "Lots Of Lines" by Beth Silaika. 

That panel is on top of a Black Onyx card stock panel 

then wrapped Ivory ribbon

 around that and layered it on top of a Base

 of Turquoise Sea

 pure luxury card stock from Gina K Designs.

 Added some black pearls from my stash.

WATER COLOR # 02

Thanks so much for stoping by.

 All comments are greatly appreciated.

Have a wonderful day!!!

was kinda calming.

 Fabulous Frame:  

     

I stamped the frame on Gina K Designs Pure Luxury White layering weight card stock. I masked off the center, then masked off the edges with sticky notes. Then sponged the clouds in using Powder Blue ink by Gina K Designs. I used Spectrum Noir markers TB4 to color in the blue around the oval. I used 2 different embossing folders, Stamped the sentiment in Black ink & Used Powder Blue card stock by Gina K Designs. I colored the butterflies with spectrum noir markers and pencils.

********

This second card I showed at the release party. I stamped the frame on White card stock by Gina K designs. Colored the edge of the frame and around the oval with Spectrum Noir black marker so it looks like a different layer. The oval & around the belly band is colored in with Spectrum Noir IB-1 marker. I paper pieced the belly band with DP from the paper pack Ang & Me. The flower and butterflies are colored with Spectrum Noir markers and pencils.This panel sits on top of Turquoise Sea pure luxury card stock by Gina K Designs. I added ribbon behind my image and bling.

****

Next is Debbie Corbari new set:
 Let's Talk:

I used Ocean Mist, Black Onyx, Kraft, and DP from the Paper Pack Ang  & me by Gina K Designs. The Diva is: Day At the Park Diva by Debbie as well. I added a vintage cut and ribbon also from Gina K Designs. My Diva 's shirt is paper pieced with some of the wonderful paper from this same DP pack. I colored her & her blanket using Spectrum Noir Pencils.

*********

This card is also from the release party. I used Sweet Mango, Sweet Corn, Black Onyx card stock along with some more of the Great DP from the paper pack Ang& me. The flowers on the paper are white so I colored them with GB-1 from Spectrum Noir. They match the Sweet Corn paper. The words and bubbles are stamped in Sweet Mango ink by Gina K Designs.

OK...Summer is at hand, and with this kit you will surly make some fabulous cards for summertime…. Well, for anytime. The images are really large, and wonderful.  

I made a lot of cards with both of these sets.  I will use them over and over. 

This is the first card I made with this Ship to Shore set. 

I used, In the Navy & White Gina K Designs pure luxury card stock.I made a wood looking background and used Gina K's Navy and White inks. Stamped the image & the sentiment in Navy also. Added bling and made a knot with twine for the sentiment. 

                                                               

***

        I used Gina K. Designs In the Navy and Kraft card stock. I love this DP with all the different colors in it. I made the waves curvy. Stamped them in Gina K's Ocean Mist, Turquoise Sea, & Navy inks. I also used GKD inks in White for the seagulls and Black for the sentiment. Black embossed the Image to give it a little shine. Added black brads that come in the kit. I added some white twine.  The wings on the birds were colored with a black marker.   

***

     On this third card here I used Gina K Designs heavy weight card stock in White. Then a layer of Ocean mist and the wonderful wavy DP. Toped that with In the Navy and White card stock also form Gina K Designs. I used inks by GKD in Powder Blue, Navy, Ocean Mist and Turquoise Sea, & Black. 

                          

*****

Now for the floral images on the Flower Builders set. I used Grass Green, Black Onyx and White card stock from Gina K Designs. The DP, ribbon, & the black brads that are in this kit and I used Dylusions ink spray for the background.

***

I love this Big Flower. This card is made with the following Gina K Designs product, Pure Luxury card stock in Turquoise Sea, Black Onyx, & White layering weight. The wonderful DP is in this kit and the Ribbon as well. Added a tiny bit of bling. With this Gorgeous paper and Awesome flower I didn't want to bling it up to much. 

***

The last card is CAS for sure… LOL. I did a base in Gina K Designs Black Onyx, and toped it with  White layering weight card stock. Stamped this great flower image colored and added the sentiment. Both are stamped in Black ink from GKD. 

I really hope you have enjoyed the hop so far. There is a lot of inspiring cards waiting to be seen. Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win something fabulous from Gina K Designs @ StampTv. You can find the kit at :
