Natural Silhouettes

Hello Friends and Happy Sunday!  I have a quick share for you featuring the Natural Silhouettes Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs.  I've used this set the past 2 Autumn Seasons and it's a good one to have in your stash.


I've kept the card design fairly simple, ink blending a side panel using Distress Oxide Inks.  The image has been heat embossed using fine detail gold powder and the card has been splattered with Gold Posca Pen.  The sentiment is a pre-printed strip from Simon Says Stamp.



Thanks for visiting with me today, until next time - Happy Crafting!

Natural Silhouettes

Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Sunday!  I hope your weekend is going well and you're rested enough to face the coming week.  I have a quick share today featuring a silhouette image that has been heat embossed.

Using the Gina K. Designs Natural Silhouettes Stamp set, I've created a quick and easy Card of Encouragement for a dear friend.


To start, I've cut random sized strips of colored card snippets in Autumn colors, then glued to another lightweight piece of scrap card (I cannot bring myself to throw out scrap card - colored or white).  I stamped the image and sentiment, then heat embossed using fine detail Gold powder from Ranger.


I've popped the panel on craft foam and adhered to a Kraft card base.  Lastly, I've added gold sequins and called it complete.  I did add a panel of vanilla card to the inside and stamped the same silhouette image onto it using brown ink.  This gives me a brighter place to write my message, and the card base isn't as heavy as I tend to use, so the added panel inside gives the card a nice weight.

This was a quick and easy card to create and a great way to use up those snippets of colored card, which I have loads of (what about you?).  

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #13 - Autumn Scenery

Hello and Happy Monday Friends!  Today begins a new fortnightly challenge at The Inspiration Station and the photo prompt this round is:


Wow, this is a gorgeous picture and could be intrepreted in so many ways!  Autumn, Travel, Trees, Leaves, Outdoors, etc.  I had so many ideas in my head when thinking of what to create for my design team project.  I decided to create an Autumn themed card with silhouette stamps.


I masked an area in the center of the card that, to me, appears to the the "road" in the photo and ink blended Catherine Pooler Inks along the sides.  After allowing the panel to dry completely, I stamped tree silhouette images from the Gina K. Designs Natural Silhouettes Stamp Set using Catherine Pooler Inks in shades of brown. 


Before adhering the focal panel to a brown mat, I die cut with a stitched rectangle nesting die from Kat Scrappiness and splattered with Gansai Tambi Metallic Gold Watercolor paint.  Lastly, twine and gold gems were added.

Please join us this round at The Inspiration Station.  We would love to see how you intrepret the inspiration photo.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Inspiration Station Challenge #3

Hello and Happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend and have a great week coming.  Today begins a new challenge at Inspiration Station.  The Inspiration Photo are various florals so I was inspired to create this A2 sized card:


Inspiration Photo:


I used the Natural Silhouttes Stamp Set by Gina K. Designs for the image and sentiment, which were heat embossed.  Arteza Real Brush Markers were used for the color and the background was created by adding the color to an acrylic block, spritzing with water and "stamping" on 110 lb. card.  To finish up the design, card candy dots were added.

Please join this fortnight for the challenge at Inspiration Station.  We hope to inspire you with our designs and look forward to seeing how the Photo Inspired you.

Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!

Enjoy All The Little Things

 Good Saturday to All.  Today's make and share features a stamp from Gina K. Designs and Ink Blending.

I've been thinking about Autumn the last couple of days as it's been so hot and humid here in Florida.  This is the rainiest summer I can remember in a very long time.  Although we really do not experience Fall weather like most, Autumn is my favorite time of year and I was inspired to create something with an Autumn feel.

The stamped image is from the Gina K. Designs Natural Silhouettes stamp set and the subtle background stamp is the Gina K. Designs Petite Flourish Background Stamp.  I blended Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Fossilized Amber and Bundled Sage for the large background and used Antique Linen on the focal mat.  The sentiment is from an unbranded set I had in my stash.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
