Gina K Designs Inspiration Day 3!


It's this release's third and final Gina K Designs inspiration blog hop, and today our amazing team is sharing projects made with the new One Free with Three, Bold and Beautiful!  

I love the gorgeous butterfly in this set, and inked it up immediately for a submission to Tina's release party glitter and flock challenge.  The card was made with a pretty stripe from Basic Grey's Life of the Party, edged with some Hero Arts adhesive lace and a pretty fleur de lis border, embellished with gold pearls. sheer ribbon and stickles.  


I had so much fun making Garden Fresh tags that I decided to make another with Bold and Beautiful.  I kept it simple, using the marker-directly-to-rubber technique, then filling in the spaces with a watercolor brush and paler inks.  I overstamped the image with linen texture and Ranger distress ink, then again with stamped off script and Memento Tuxedo Black ink, tearing and distress-inking the edges.  Both of these stamps are from Timeless Textures.  A single gold pearl graces the center of the blossom, and the back of the tag is stamped with the sentiment, praying for you!  It would be pretty attached to a potted plant to bring on a visit to someone in the hospital!

Here are today's artists:

  87. Hi Deb, I love your cards! The first one is just so vivid and rich with that gorgeous butterfly! Your bookmark is out of this world! So royal and rich with those colors too! I just noticed your followers are there. I found my disappeared if I was using something other than Google Reader and it would tip out at over 1000+ even if I was reading posts from my dashboard. I had to go to Google Reader and clear out all of the posts there to get them back. No kidding! It's weird, but it works. Now others do it too.
