Gina K Designs Inspiration Blog Hop Day 2
When I first saw the Vicky Mermaid set, I knew I had to make a shaker card! I stamped and colored Vicky, the starfish and the coral with Prismacolor colored pencils. The background was created using a mix of Distress Oxide inks.
I filled the inside of the shaker with sequins and seed beads. Seed beads are one of my new favorite things to use in a shaker card because they add some noise to the shaker and make it even more fun.
For my second card, I colored the fence scene from the Cottage Garden set. I again used my Prismacolor colored pencils. As you will notice, this is my go-to coloring choice!
I love the little banner with the bird and that many of the sentiments will fit inside the banner he is holding. To give the entire scene a little dimension, I used double sided foam adhesive.
My final card for today features the Botanical Blooms Incentive Set. I stamped two of the floral images and then punched them out using a square punch.
I used this same technique for the sentiment, but trimmed off a bit of the top and bottom on the square to allow it to stand out a bit from the stamped floral images.
Now it's time to hop!
