Stampin' In Alaska

A few weeks ago Melanie Muenchinger , illustrator for Gina K Designs , contacted me to ask if I would create a few cards using her Stately Flowers 3 stamp set. I am sharing a card which I made with the magnolia image and sentiment from the set. I started by stamping the magnolia image on water color paper. I then used a water color brush and dye ink pads to watercolor the image. After the image was dry I spritzed the image Sheer Shimmer Spritz by Tsukineko. The Spellbinder die is the lotus pendant. A few pearls were also added. This was lots of fun to create and the water coloring gave it such a soft effect. If you have come over from Melanie's blog post the following supplies were used to create the "Thinking of You" card: Gina K Designs " Stately Flowers 3" illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger Gina K Designs Pure Luxury card stock Gina K Designs Wisteria Lane Pure Luxury 6x6 patterned paper pack Amuse sheer white ribbon Stampin' Up!

I am having so much fun creating with Melanie's newest addition to her State Flower series called " Stately Flowers 3 ". Since I live in Alaska, I gravitated to the Forget-me-not images. This is a clean and simple design with a card sized 4.25 square. The image has been colored with Copic Markers and yellow Stickles added to the centers. A couple of dry embossing lines and I have a sweet note card that is appropriate for any occasion.
