All That You Are

Happy Birthday Watercolor

I often participate in challenges with Split Coast Stampers. This card meets two of the challenges this week. It meets WT730 Waters Edge, where I needed to do something with water. I chose to watercolor. The other challenge is CC729 Color Challenge. The colors are Tide Pool, Melon Mambo, So Saffron, and Granny Apple Green, all listed as SU colors. I have few actual SU ink colors, so usually substitute. I used Hero Arts Tide Pool for the blue background. I do own SU watercolor pencils so I used Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green in the pencils, coloring the flowers and leaves. Sweet Corn by Gina K Designs is a match to So Saffron. I did a bit of sponging on the Birthday oval with Lawn Fawn Guava, which is a great match for the Melon Mambo. I even sponged the ribbon. I added a few sequins for something extra. The stamp set used is called All That You Are by SU. I do enjoy watercolor as it gives fast coloring.

Birthday Wishes Wreath

Flower Power Challenge

This is my second card to post to March ginakdesigns challenge. I used the Wreath Builder for placement of the large flowers, the flourish, and the leaves.

Stamp sets: Frame and Flowers 1 (large flower), Sending Love (flourish bud), Stippled Flowers (leaves), Birthday Blessings (sentiment, cut apart to stack). The Darice Vine embossing folder was used to add texture to the card base. The card base is SU Sky Blue and is a 5 inch square. I rounded one corner to give a bit of interest. This card is very sparkly as I used a sparkle pen to add a bit of shimmer. Here is the link for the challenge: https://www.ginakdesigns.com/2019/03/01/flower-power-our-march-month-mix-challenge/

Blossom

| Lisa K

Stamps set used: Blossom by Joy Clair, Ink used: Versamark, Paper used: GKD Grass Green, Fresh Asparagus, Used Spellbinders Label Number 9 die, Tombow marker #177

This card will be entered in the Mod Squad Challenge. I struggle with using green, so I pulled out every green piece of paper I owned, then ink, then decided to keep it simple and go with Versamark. I do like the cactus in this stamp set. I think they might be fun to color.

Green Luck

| Gayle Chrvala

My first post….fingers crossed and needing the luck of the Irish to get me through this attempt.  One more St. Patrick’s Day card and this one is for the Mod Squad Challenge to have everything green.  Gina K Designs is the sponsor so I used Best of Luck stamp set, Christmas Pine and key lime card stock, Tim Holtz Lucky Clover distress oxide ink, versamark, Ranger’s evergreen embossing powder, Cheapo Dies clover and some glittery paper from my stash.  I guess it’s going to be Go Green or Go Home!!

Here are the lovely entries that were sent a hand made stencil.

  • KODAK Digital Still Camera

Use a stencil and post this week. My stencil was cut on Silhouette, embossing paste colored with Powder blue re-inker applied with spatula. While still wet I sprinkled on Copper embossing paste and heat set. Stamped on grass in black, sponged Ocean Mist and Navy then added Nuvo drops in clear. Diver and whale are digi’s that also got sponged. Sea weeds were cut on silhouette and colored with Copics then glued on. Frame was cut and layered on Navy cs.

Daffodil March Birthday

| Judy Inukai

I love the tiny daffodil and clay pot from Window of Wishes by Theresa Momber for Gina K designs. Since the daffodil is flower for March, I thought it was perfect for the Flower Power challenge for March at Gina K. Designs.

I colored the flower and pot with Copics: Y08, Y18, YG01, YG05, E07, Colorless Blender. I cut the White Base Weight focal panel with Gina’s Double Stitch Rectangle. The mat is cut with the Single Stitch Rectangle in Grass Green. The lower panel is Tomato Soup embossed with the Cuttlebug Polka Dot Embossing Folder (5×7). Tip: Don’t use the purple tape to hold the side of the CS that will be face up. The card base is Sweet Corn. The tan was in my stash, cut with Alison’s Ribbon die. The sentiment from Autumn Wishes fit perfectly on the ribbon. On the inside I used a sentiment from Birthday Greetings.
