Good morning! The Gina K Designs team is readying for tonight's October release party and the illustrators are giving you another peek today at the new sets coming out this evening! Here's just a taste of what you'll be seeing from each of us. I really hope you will join us tonight for Gina's newest StampTV video featuring the new sets (and cardstocks, and embellishments, oh my!) and the contests, prizes, new samples and chatting with the teams and StampTv friends!
Here is my sample with the newest addition to my Stately Flowers series, Stately Flowers 5. I had to give you Oklahoma's Mistletoe in time for Christmas! Isn't that sweet? Change the color of the berries, and this little of sprig of leaves will add a lovely touch of nature to your cards year round.
Supplies: Gina K Pure Luxury Kraft, Red Hot Cardstock and Spellbinders Matting Basics B set.
Memento Cottage Ivy, Lady Bug, Espresso Truffle (for stamping image) and Copics YG03, YG23, YG67, and YG93. White Opal Liquid Pearls
This set also contains the flower South Dakota proudly claims: the Pasque Flower (also known as Pulsatilla, or Wild Crocus. Did you know Pasque means Easter?) Love the showy bloom with the prickly stems, a survivor that thrives gracefully in the wild! I used the matching Stately Flowers 5 cut file for the Silhouette Cameo on the flower, also available tonight.
Supplies: Gina K Pure Luxury Lovely Lavender, Wild Heather and White Cardstock.
Spellbinders Hexagons, Memento Tuxedo Black and Sweet Plum. Copics V06, V09, V17, Y06Y19.
White Opal Liquid Pearls
Can't wait for you to see the full reveal of Stately Flowers 5 tonight at 7 PM CDT! All new products will be loaded to the store at that time for you to get your shop on!
Now please hop with the rest of our illustrators for peeks and inspiration for ALL the new sets:

ReplyDeleteI love them both! They so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteI love the string of pearls leading to your vibrant mistletoe and soft sponged edges in your first card and how you used that intricately illustrated flower as both the background and the spotlight of your second card in the middle and that fun & fresh hexagon frame!
ReplyDeleteMelanie,
