Gina K. Preview Day 2 – Bugs & Flowers

Look at this cute caterpillar I used on my card in the set Bug Me Anytime illustrated by Nina Brackett!!  I know most people are not too fond of bugs in real life, but how can you resist stamped bugs that are smiling?!  In addition to bugs of many kinds in this set, there are cute sentiments, flowers and more!  You are going to adore the digital papers that coordinate with the set too!  There are 2 – Summer (which I used on my card) and Pastels.  I used tangerine tango, brocade blue and chocolate kiss on my card which is for Jen’s Sketch For You to Try from Saturday-I just adore it to showcase 3 of the fun papers in the pack!

Here is a follow up to Melanie’s A Year of Flowers and the biggest stamp Gina K. Designs has!!  It is called Arranged with Love, a 3.75” by 5” stamp; perfectly sized to allow for one to two matted layers behind it on a standard sized card.  I chose to do a de-bossed technique for my card: I stamped the background stamp with white craft ink of vellum cardstock and let it dry completely.  Then, I outlined the image with a stylus tool on the back with a piercing mat beneath my image to emphasize the outline.  I colored on the back with waterbased markers.  I cut out the box which looks like a card similar to what you would stick in a store bought arrangement (you know the one that says who it’s for and who it’s from) to draw attention to the Happy Birthday greeting which is stamped with versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  This set has 10 greetings for all the floral arrangement occasions you may need!  Of course you can always mix & match sentiments from other Gina K. Designs sets too!
