Inspiration Hop Day 2: Up and Away and Lot of Dots Alphabet

Good morning!  The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas, and as you hop through our 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 Gina K. Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops. 

First up we have Up and Away  by Theresa Momber.  I alternated stamping the large and small balloons in Gina K. inks: Red Hot, Sweet Mango, Sweet Corn, Fresh Asparagus, Turquoise Sea and Blue Raspberry.  Doesn't that make a cool floating rainbow?  Sponge some Turquoise Sea around the balloons and add the greeting and brad below. one last detail was adding some pierced rows to the white mat with the Scor-Bug and Scor-Buddy.

Base is Black Onyx.

Here is simple scene create with sponge daubers and Gina K. Designs Ocean Mist and Grass Green ink.  Stamp the grass at the bottom and the balloons above.  Sponge the green ink right over the stamped grass and lightly sponge the aqua ink around the balloons to create sky and clouds.   Color the balloon with Copics.  Don't you feel like you are relaxing in a field watching them go by?

 I made this top fold card a little skinnier than normal to really emphasize the vertical scene here.  Base is Pure Luxury Lemon Drop.

Next we have Lots of Dots Alphabet by Beth Silaika . I decided to start with a Facebook inspired card to go with the include "like" symbol.

I improvised the facebook logo by stamping the f into a square and making a search box strip from Pure Luxury White to stamp out the remaining "or you".  Pop everything up with foam dots for dimension.  Cardbase is Pure Luxury Blue Denim.
