Gina K Festive Flowers Christmas Card

 Gina K Colossal Cone Flower Card

I was trying a new technique I saw on Jeanie's Blog KrampaKreations where she showed how to emboss with a stencil. I embossed the Gina K Fizzy stencil with clear embossing powder and then used a blending brush with Gina K Blue Raspberry ink. I stamped the flowers and leaves in Gina K Obsidian /Amalgam ink and colored with Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers. I cut the images with my Brother ScanNCut machine. I used Today die cut & shadow and Master Layouts 3 for sentiment flag. I finished the card with pink rhinestones.

 Gina K Heartfelt Bouquet Gray Scale Card

After watching Gina K latest video on making a gray scale card I want to try it. The fun was using bubble wrap inked up and pressed on white cardstock. It came out amazing and was so easy to do. I did not make faux wood but used a new stamp set to make lumber. I stamped the images with black ink and heat set it. I used a black Prismacolor pencil and put a little on the base of the petals and then use Gamsol using a blending stump to spread the pencil to cover the whole petal. I popped up the flower and added black rhinestones to finish the card.
