{Gina K Inspiration Hop} The Wetlands

The Cast and Crew of Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina and the Cast and Crew will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their 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.

Today's hop features cards made with Theresa's new set, The Wetlands.  It is such a nice mix of images and sentiments and I love that there are images to color along with silhouettes.  For the card above, I used the two silhouette images, one in the background and another in the forefront.  I made a mask for my sponging by cutting an opening with my deckle rectangle die and sponged through it with inks... I don't remember exactly which ones, but I think Kraft, Prickly Pear, Honey Mustard and Charcoal were some of them. : )  The brownish birds were stamped first in Honey Mustard, then in Kraft, and the other background bird was stamped in Charcoal Brown that had been stamped off once. The bird in the front was stamped with Black Onyx.

This card is a repeat from the release party, but I just love it, so I'm sharing it again. : )  I watercolored the background after I had stamped my silhouette in Versamark and clear embossed.  I colored the dragonfly with Spectrum Noir markers and pencils.

And finally, a clean and simple anniversary card using papers from the Shabby Spring paper pack.  LOVE the combo of Turquoise Sea and Charcoal Brown!!

Well, that's it!!   I hope you've enjoyed today's hop and are all excited to start stamping !!  I'll give you the list of my fellow designers again, in case you're just getting started... otherwise, you can jump right over to the shop to check out the stamps and supplies you saw on today's hop! :)
