Gina K. Designs. April Inspiration Blog Hop: Garden Silhouettes (One free with 3), Timeless Textures

Hello my friends! Welcome to Day 1 of Gina K. Designs April Inspiration Blog Hop! Today we are showcasing 2 beautiful sets: Garden Silhouettes (this set is free with the purchase of 3 sets!) and Timeless Textures (love this set very much!!)

Garden Silhouettes: This set is fantastic for CAS and quick cards. I made a little experiment using Memento Sweet Plum Ink and here are the results:

With Sympathy: I added enough ink to the image, then sprayed the image using Mini Mister (water mixed with Perfect Pearls) and stamped the image onto White CS. I didn't like it much, so I added Pink Copic marker around the image, this way the borders get a little darker and also creates a little shadow. Then die-cut, emboss and stencil it.




Many Thanks: I did the same as before, but here I sprayed the image from about 15 inches distance and stamped it.
I paper pierced the top corners and added pearls.








Birthday Wishes: This image was stamped the regular way. No spray used.
The patterned paper is from the new StampTV Kit. I added some Gold Nailhead in opposite corners.












Timeless Textures: I made a couple of cards using this set :)

Happy Birthday: For this card I stamped the smallest images onto White Cardstock, using Tea Dye Distress, Memento Sweet Plum and Memento Tangelo. I matted them with Sweet Mango, Kraf and Lilac CS! I stamped the largest image at the bottom and  the sentiment on top. The sentiment is from Theresa's new set: Follow your dreams.



With Love: For this card I used the polka dot image, using the stamp-a-majig I created the whole BG. The sentiment is from Garden Silhouettes set.

Miss you

Hello my friends! Hope you are doing well. Here, I've been working on projects like crazy, in addition that I've been having back problems, agggghhhh, but today I am feeling much better and after finishing school with DD I decided to make a card just for fun! I was having so much fun that I even made my own paper flowers, so easy and so pretty!!

So, this card was inspired by several challenges I found on the web:
  

Directions:
  • Make your card base from White Glitter CS. 5" square.
  • Stamp image on White Cs in Black Ink. Color it with Copic Markers: Hair: E31, E33, E35, E37. Outfit: V01, V12, V15. Face: YR000, YR00. Wings and hands: R20. Die-cut, emboss and stencil it with Rectangle Nestabilities.

  • Cut a piece of Lavender CS and adhere to card.
  • Die-cut scallop border and adhere to card.
  • Adhere Rectangle pieces to card. Glue butterfly.
  • Add flowers and sentiment.
How to create my flowers:
  • Yellow flower: Start with a piece of White Tissue paper, add ink direct onto paper using ink pad (Here I used Daffodil Delight). Fold tissue paper in 4 and die-cut it.
  • Purple flower: Start with a strip of White Crepe Paper. Add ink from ink pad (Memento Sweet Plum), fold in 4 and die-cut paper.
  • Die-cut I used: Daisy Patch Dies and Posy Patch Dies from Heartfelt Creations
  • TIP: Don't apply too much ink for a nice, smooth look :)

Card recipe:
  • Cardstock: Glitter White (DCWV), White (GP)Lovely Lavender (GKD)
  • Paper: Little Yellow Bicycle, White Crepe Paper, White Tissue Paper.
  • Stamps: Tilda (Magnolia), sentiment from Botanicals (GKD)
  • Ink: Memento Sweet Plum (Tsukineko), Daffodil Delight (SU).
  • Embellishments:Gold Gala Glitz
  • Accessories: Rectangle Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Daisy Patch Dies, Posy Patch Dies, Scallop Border Die (Heartfelt Creations), Scor-tape, Foam tape.
Does anybody know the name of this Tilda? I got this image long time ago and I don't have the name of her. Thanks!!
