The morning glories were colored with Prismacolor Pencils using Gamsol and a stump. I fussy cut out the flowers with my scissors and cropped it to fit my card.

Gina K Spread Your Wings Card

I love the new big butterfly stamp, so I made a 5" x 7" card.  I used reinkers with a little added water and splattered the background with a wet paint brush. I first used an embossing antistatic pad and rubbed it all over the white cardstock,  stamped my butterfly with Versafine Black Onyx ink and then used clear gloss embossing powder. I used my heat gun to set the embossing powder. Next, I cut the stamped image with my Brother Scan'Cut. I colored the flowers and butterfly with Prismacolor pencils and used a colorless blending pencil to blend the pencil colors. I popped up my stamped image on foam squares and finished the card with orange enamel dots.

Gina K Natural Silhouettes Mini Slimline Card

Gina K Natural Silhouettes Mini Slimline Card 

I made this card for my sweet hubby. I used a new technique called Stencil Spritz Technique I saw on a Gina K You Tube video link here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPJDU5P2U90

It is a very easy technique to do. You stamp your ink on the Gina K Funky Flourish or other stencil in three stripes of different ink. You then spritz a fine spray of water on the stencil. Next you place cardstock on top and press down. Use your heat gun to dry the paper. You then using a blending brush to lightly go over the stencil image with corresponding ink color.  Chose a large or small silhouette stamp and stamp it in black ink twice. I cut it with Gina K Master Layouts # 7 die. I cut a black cardstock with the larger die. I die cut a flag from Gina K's Master Layouts # 5 in white cardstock and stamped my sentiment on it. I layered the mat and popped up the sentiment die with foam squares. I finished with Gina K Dew Drops.
