Since my mother-in-law has a hard time to getting into our truck we have purchased a new car that I really wanted a Toyota Avalon. I am so excited and we had to order it so I don't know when we will get it. to make this card I stamped the lighthouse and then colored it with my Prismacolor Pencils using Gamsol with w stump. I used the pencils to make the water and the sunrise sky. I put an acetate sheet behind the window die and popped the die with thin foam tape. The background is a brick embossing folder and I finished the card by adding black rhinestones around the window to make it look nautical.

Gina K Sketched Flowers Card

Gina K Sketched Flowers Card

After watching Gina K's latest video I made this card but did  not add clear embossing powder to make the images shiny. I stamped the flowers with Gina K Bubble Gum and Passionate Pink. I used a finger dauber to add Passionate Pink on the small flowers to mimic the large flower. I stamped the  vines and leaves with Key Lime and used finger dauber to add Fresh Asparagus on the edges of the leaves. I colored the Harvest Flourish Stencil lightly with Fresh Asparagus. I popped an two layer ovals with foam squares and placed the flower and leaves on the ovals. I popped up the flower and the sentiment to give it more dimension. I finished the card by adding pink rhinestones.

Gina K You Anchor Me Card

Gina K You Anchor Me Card

I made this card for my dear sweet husband who takes such good care of my mother-in-law. I am also entering it to Gina K Monthly June It's All about the Background Challenge. For the background I used Kraft cardstock to make faux wood and swiped with the edge of my ink pad with Gina K Warm Cocoa, Tomato Soup and Black Onyx inks. I then used my Score-Pal to score 1/2 lines to mimic lumber. I used a black gel pen to the scored lines to make them visible. I stamped the flowers and partially colored them with flower color and them with green for the leaves and then ink the flower color. To make the anchor look old and rusty I stamped the whole anchor in Gina K Soft Stone ink and the swiped Ocean Mist and Tomato Soup inks. I stamped the sentiment and big flower and popped them up for dimension. I used my ScanNCut to cut the card elements. I am so excited that my card was one of three winners in Gina K's June monthly It's all about the Background Challenge.
