Good morning! Welcome to
our final day of Gina K Designs Inspiration Hops with the design team! As you hop through the blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of deeply etched,
pre-cut Gina K. Designs stamps! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops.
The first sample shows the
Fall Foliage Free with Three set, purchase any three sets this month and receive this beautiful set of fall leaves and sentiments free! This month only! I created some cut leaves with the
Fall Foliage Silhouette cut file out of white cardstock and stamped the leaves inside. TIP: Be sure to use
layering weight Pure Luxury when cutting with your Silhouette, unless you need a very sturdy cut out, the machine has to do less work cutting through this thinner paper and the blade will last longer! Each of these I inked up with two Memento pads: one in
Morocco and then rolled the edges in
Rhubarb Stalk, the other in
Peanut Brittle and
Toffee Crunch. At first, I was going to do at least three leaves but then chose two to go with this sentiment, and the greeting balances them out as a third element. I pulled my
adhesive pearls off in strips to make the drifting trails behind them just pressing down as I went to create the curves. I thought pearls would give it a very precious quality to go with the "blessings". Patterned Paper is
GKD Sun Kissed Autumn. Greeting stamped in
Memento Espresso Truffle. Card base is
heavy weight Pure Luxury White.
Next we have the
Sun Kissed Autumn StampTV kit. This owl and greeting are so stinking cute! Yeah, I know he's a little big for this tree the way I stamped it, but I love the whimsy of it! love how this image can go from tree to branch easily depending on your design and intent! Tree stamped in
Memento Espresso Truffle and leaves in
Memento Pistachio (which by the way, is a terrific match for the new
Pure Luxury Dusty Sage! Card base is
Pure Luxury Tomato Soup, I adore this new color! Owl colored with Copics E97, E94, E87, YR18 and BG000.
Enjoy hopping with the rest of the Gina K Designs design team for inspiration with these sets:
