Gina K A Big Hello Card

 Gina K A Big Hello Card

I made this for a weekly challenge at Gina K Designs & Stamp TV Friends. We had to use two shades of turquoise and two shades of yellow. We could also use black and white. I chose my new stamp set and stencil to make this card. I used the lighter color turquoise for the stencil and embossed the flower with the darker shade. I embossed the butterfly with the lighter yellow and used a Prismacolor pencil for the darker and the black.

Gina K Lace Flowers Tent Topper Card

 Gina K Lace Flowers Tent Topper Card

I watched Gina K's Stamp & Chat and she demonstrated how to make a tent topper card with partial embossing. It looked like fun because I love fancy fold cards. I embossed the flowers and the leaves with white embossing power on white cardstock. I then used my blending brushed and applied Distress Candy apple darker in the center and fading out beyond the flower so that you would not see the white around the die cut. I used a Crimson Red Prismacolor pencil and darken the inner part of the petals and used a stump with Gamsol to blend to the ends. The leaves were so small I just used Apple Green Prismacolor pencil and faded out around the leaves so not to show white on die cut. I stamped my sentiment and then partially embossed the folder and used my Scor-Pal to emboss a line at the end of embossed section. I finished with some red enamel dots.

Gina K & Hero Arts Friendship Blooms Card

Gina K & Hero Arts Friendship Blooms Card

I watched a Stamp & Chat with Gina K and she showed us a new technique. It is called inset coloring technique with colored pencils and Gamsol. It is a little tricky to stamp the same image on the white and gray cardstock. To fill the corners I stamped leaves on my Misti on the white and and change to grey not moving my stamp I did this around all the edges. I colored all the flowers and with a Prismacolor pencil and then blend them to the tips leaving a white space at the top of the petal. I then colored the leaves with two different pencils. I then die cut a rectangle out of my colored white cardstock trying to get is centered. I made a black cardstock border on the white and the gray cardstock. I attached it to the card base and the added some bling clear sparkles. Link to Gina K Video:

This is the stamp set I got for free by using the gift certificate I won in last month's Challenge. I love this stamp set because it is so versatile. I first stamped the vine twice on white cardstock. I added flowers by using the ink and marker technique video of Gina K's. I stamped the flowers in pink and used a darker pink maker to shade the bottom of the petals. I stamped my sentiment on a die cut white cardstock and layered it with green cardstock. To give the sentiment dimension I popped it up with foam squares. I added a little bling with light pink gems in three sizes. Link to Gina K video:

Gina K Mermaid Scales Double Stencil Shaker Card

 Gina K Mermaid Scales Double 

Stencil Shaker Card

I watched the latest Stamp & Chat and Gina K showed how to use two stencils on a card. The top one is in vellum paper. I stamped the Mermaid Scales on white paper with blue ink and I stamped the sunrise stencil with yellow and lightened it with sea salt on vellum. I decided that this technique would make a perfect shaker card. I die cut the oval out of white cardstock and then used the die larger with the original oval die and cut an outline. I added Mermaid Tails sequins after adding two layers of double sided tape between the vellum and the stamped cardstock. Here is the link:

This is the first card I made from Gina K's March Card Kit. I saw a video By Helen Hightower on a new technique using Prismacolor Pencils. I embossed the flower with white embossing powder on Kraft cardstock. I then colored the upper portion of the flowers with the white pencil. Next I colored the flower using a blue pencil. I then added more of the white pencil to blend the two colors together. I love how easy it to do and very striking flower the two pencils made.
