Out West brings a wonderful collection of western images and sentiments drawn by our own Gina K. Sr. Design team member, Theresa Momber (the woman can draw!!) I drew inspiration for my card from this one by Anna Wight. I stamped the horse on Gina K pure luxury layering weight cardstock and colored him in using copics. I then put a small border around the horse to create a border like Anna did in her post and sponged Distress inks in red brick, tea dye and vintage photo. I layered the horse image on my awesome new Chocolate Kiss cardstock that Gina K will be releasing this Thursday and layered on top of kraft cardstock. Under the horse image is another new product Gina will be releasing this week called Nautical Netting, which I thought would be real nice on this card and finished it with a silver charm I had in my stash.
Friendship’s Blessing is another beautiful floral set illustrated by Asela. I chose to show you the potted plant Miltonia Orchid (click to see the plant I drew inspiration from and made a matching soldered charm bookmark for me!!
I have been waiting for just the right small floral set so I could try my hand at soldering, which was one of my goals for this year. It is my first piece and it took me quite a while to make but I think it’s pretty decent for my first one. I followed the online tutorial for soldering by Ellen Hutson which was easy to follow. I attached the whisper white organza ribbon by SU! for the ribbon, which is tucked into the book I am currently reading.
Be sure to check out all the sneak peek samples by the rest of the design team today and come back for more through Thursday, our release day!
