This sympathy card was made using the Faithful Florals stamp set by Tami Mayberry, and the Grand Damask stamp set by Nina Brackett, from Gina K. Designs.

The main sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Pure Luxury Soft Sand cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, and the floral image was stamped behind it using Sahara Sand ink. The main image was adhered to a piece of PL Ivory cardstock with a scallop border, and a thin strip of PL Smokey Slate cardstock was glued on the bottom of the main image.

The Grand Damask image was stamped onto PL Fresh Asparagus cardstock using Olive Vivid ink, and the cardstock was then adhered to the PL Ivory cardbase. I mounted to the main image to the cardbase with dimensionals, and added two silver rhinestones in the upper corner.

The entire GinaK Designs team would like to invite you to the virtual Release party we’ll be having tonight (Thursday, August 5th) on StampTV.  It will be a bit different than our usual release party, but we’ll still have challenges, contest questions, and designer samples that you won’t want to miss out on!  See you there for all the fun!

Tonight I get to preview two beautiful new stamp sets: “Hugs and Prayers” by Nina Brackett, and “Seeds of Kindness” by Gina K. Both of these sets are filled with floral images (Nina’s has humming birds and butterflies too) as well as several sentiments.

For the card above, I stamped the bold Poppy image in VersaMark onto the Pure Luxury Cranberry Crisp cardstock and embossed it with white embossing powder. The cardbase is PL Soft Sand with a scallop edge created with the Tulip Boderabilities and a length of belle fiber compliments the waves of the scallops and flower petals.

The sentiment was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink, layered onto vellum, secured with two silver brads and then mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals.

This next project, I tried to create an asian/modern style with the colors and sentiment arrangement. The main flower image was stamped onto PL White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Copic Markers. BG93, BG96, BV23, BV29, and V12 for the leaves. RV02, RV04, RV06, Y06, and Y08 for the flowers. Y21, Y28, C-1, C-3, and C-5 for the pot and shadow.

The two parallel lines were created with the solid line image from the new In Stitches stamp set and the sentiment was stamped on the top line. I layered the main image over a piece of PL Sm0key Slate cardstock and then mounted the image to my PL Soft Sand cardfront.
