Welcome to Day 2 of Gina K Designs’ November stamp set release inspiration blog hops! Remember, all of the new November release stamp sets are now available in Gina’s store! Our first stamp set being featured today is: Dogwood and Butterfly by Theresa Momber -- isn’t it gorgeously elegant?!!
My notecard sample:
I masked off an area the size of the center of this pretty embossing folder, stamped onto Gina's Heavy Base Weight Ivory Cardstock, and then embossed. I used these Copic colors on this gorgeous dogwood image (treating the parts of the oval frame as a tree branch, colored with E30 and E31 not shown here):
Using the lightest RV00 marker to pick up color from the tip of the darker RV63 marker (tip-to-tip technique), and coloring from the tips of the flowers inward, helps to fade the color to white towards the center. Antique Linen Distress Ink was lightly sponged on the raised embossing. The panel was mounted to a card base of Gina's Bubblegum Pink cardstock.
Our next set being featured today is Label Borders by Tami Mayberry -- what a fabulous idea!
The centers are the same size on both this set and Tami’s All Occasion Tags, so they can be layered and the sentiments are also interchangeable between the sets. Borders are 6" long but are designed so they can also be stamped end to end to create a 12" border for scrapbooking!
My sample: A quick and easy get well card -- a great way to use leftover scraps of patterned papers from other projects!
This was almost a “True Love” card (using sentiment from this set) but I changed my mind at the last minute and used the “Get Well Wishes” from All Occasion Tags! The sentiment label was die cut with my favorite Spellbinders tag dies, Grommet Tags, and the border was inked with Rich Cocoa and Rose Bud Memento Markers.
One of the new November stamp duo sets I’m sharing with you today is Friends are Flowers -- I love this uniquely shaped beautiful flower!
I decided to make a relatively clean and simple (for me!) one-layer card -- I know, I never do that, right?!!
I used Gina’s fabulously thick Heavy Base Weight White Cardstock for my card base. It holds up wonderfully, even for the paper piercing and hand stitching I did! And it’s so nice and thick that your Copic coloring won’t bleed through to the backside:
As Martha would say, “It’s a good thing”! Here are the Copics I used, along with Atyou Spica Glitter Pen accents on the flower centers (Lemon & Melon) and a few of the flower tips (Pitch Black):
