  11. I think Red Hot jumps out most to me, even though I would have guessed without seeing the fresh asparagus since green is my favorite color. Blue denim would be my next color to have released.

  16. This is exciting! I was intrigued back when Gina sneaked that she was coming out with coordinating inks but have not had the funds to try them out. Cherry red is probably my favorite current color companion, and I hope grass green is next! Thanks for the chance to win!

  22. Oh, my your card you made is so lovely. As to my favorite of Gina's color companions, I guess I would say right now it is Ocean Mist as I seem to be always pulling those colors out of late. But I love them all really.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Oh, I forgot to add i would love to see something in the teal line as well. I really like that color a lot.

  30. Oh my goodness Melanie! This is such a sweet giveaway! It is hard to pick my favorite of the current Colors, but I would have to go with Dark Sage. As for what I hope comes out next, that is even more difficult! I would have to say Wild Dandelion followed by Wild Lilac or both together would be even better :) Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous Red Hot collection!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Your work is so impressive that I wish I could afford to have your entire collection from GinaK.

    For todays post, I would have to say that Fresh Asparagus would be my pick - almost any floral card needs some green and that's a great green.

    For that same reason, I hope Jelly Bean Green becomes one of the next collection colors.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ocean Mist is my favorite color, but I love them all. I would like to see Dark Chocolate next. I have had a very hard time finding a good rich brown - I think Gina K's is one of the few really good ones!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I have to say that fresh asparagus is my favorite color. I think the next one that should be released is warm cocoa. Thank you for the chance to win, love Gina!

I'm looking forward to her developing inks that will go along with the Black Onyx and Dark Chocolate card stock. Brown and black inks are always so versatile. And I'm hoping her black ink will be compatible with with alcohol markers.

    ReplyDelete
