It was so much fun creating with the New Set from the Illustrators and with the new products from Gina & Rina! ❤ First up is “Perfect Pallets” By: Melanie Muenchinger. When I used the Electro Pop Inks, I didn’t wipe off my stamp completely as I wanted the colors to blend together. I love the different colors I got when I stamped them. I inked up with the Raging Red, then the Hello Yellow, it gave me a orange color, then inked up with Hello Yellow Again and then with the Loud Lime. Followed by the Blaring Blue.

I let it dry then heat embossed the Butterfly Wings on Watercolor Paper and stamped the greeting and Body in the New Obsidian Amalgam Ink. Added the leaves at the bottom and added the shadow with a Copic Marker.

Gina K. Designs + Hero Arts Celebrating Hero Arts 45th Anniversary

Congratulations to Hero Arts for 45 years of creative inspiration!

This set is a fabulous set to celebrate with. Illustrator and Artist Hannah Schroepfer from Gina K. Designs drew this gorgeous spray of roses and it was so much fun coloring. I will get lots of practice with this set! ❤ Here is this Beautiful Set – Friendship Blooms

First card I did a little No Line Watercoloring. I love how larger this flower set is!

The watercoloring was done with some Color Burst Powders after Stamping the Beautiful Flower image in Gina K. Designs Whisper Amalgam Ink. I had a lot of fun coloring this one! ❤

Next I wanted to use some of Gina K. Designs Soft Stone Card Stock to color some white flowers on! ❤ Stamped the Image in Stormy Sky Premium Dye Ink and colored with my Prismacolor Pencils.

This was colored with a White and Gray 70% and a 30% pencil and the two greens. I do like the way the pencils show up on the gray card stock.

I used the Vibrant Blooms Stamp Set and Matching Dies along with the Thick Brush Stencil for my first card! ❤ Attached the Stencil with Pixie Spray to a layer of Jelly Bean Green card stock and brushed on Fresh Asparagus Ink. Adding some Liquid Pixie Dust over the leaves. Used a piece of Bristol Smooth Paper and some Kraft Ink to my glass mat and spritzed with water. Placed the paper over the ink and rubbed it around to pick up the color. Let it dry and cut out the panel with the Decorative Dies then stamped the sprig of leaves in Skeleton Leaves. Then stamped the Flower and Leaves on left over piece of the Bristol paper. Colored with Zig Clean Color Markers and Die cut them out with the coordinating Dies. Then added a tiny strip of Black Onyx Card stock instead of ribbon.

Supplies Used on this card are:

Gina K Designs – Vibrant Blooms Stamp Set, Vibrant Blooms Die Set Thick Brush Stencil Pure Luxury Card Stock – White Heavy Base, Black Onyx, & Jelly Bean Green Premium Dye Ink – Fresh Asparagus, Kraft & Black Onyx Amalgam Ink – Skeleton Leaves Decorative Label Dies Adhesive Dot Runner, Foam Squares, and Connect Glue *Pixie Spray Stencil Adhesive from Therm-O-Web *Picket Fence Life Changing Brushes

InkOn3 – Liquid Pixie Dust brushed on the stencil leaves with a dry water brush. The sparkle is so pretty, it is hard to catch on a card, but you can see a little. 🙂

The Next card is made using the New Bad & Boujee Stamp Set & coordinating Bad & Boujee Dies. I started with some Bristol Smooth Paper and Passionate Pink Premium Dye Ink and smooched it onto my glass mat, spritzed with water and then moved my paper over it to pick up the ink. Grabbed the Sun Spots Stencil and brushed on some Passionate Pink Ink. Stamped the Lips in Passionate Pink and used the Liquid Pixie Dust as lip gloss on the lip image! Die Cut the work Kisses 3 times in Passionate Pink Card Stock and Once in Black Onyx. Attached them together with Connect Glue and off set the Black Layer so it would have a pink shadow.
