Gina K. Designs September 2020 Release Inspiration Blog Hop - Day 2!!

Hey Y'all!!





Welcome!  Glad to see you!  :D  This is day 2 of our Gina K. Designs September Release inspiration Blog hop!  I hope you enjoyed yesterdays!  And for today too we will be showcasing 2 more new sets!  And as usual, Gina is giving away 3 $50 Gift Certificates to the store, one from each days comments!  So be sure to leaves your comment along the way!  (plus it makes us smile!  :D)

Ok, on with the show!

Up first we have our newest Illustrator, Arjita Singh, her newest set called, Timeless Poppies


This is a BIG stamp and is just oh so gorgeous!  Here is what I have done for today with this set:

I did some watercoloring again.  I stamped the image and then after watercoloring, i cut around the right edge and then attached it to the card base.  I also tied a ribbon on the card base before attaching the image panel.  I went traditional poppies...red....but thats ok, red is my favorite!  :D  

Ok, next up is Lisa Hetrick's newest set, Bloomin' Wild:

...and matching dies!

Here is my card for today:
For this card I used some chalks, then versamark ink to 'lift' the chalk.  I decided to heat emboss too.  I couldnt decide on a sentiment so just left that off the front.  LOL!  Remember eyelets?  well, yea, still got a HUGE amount so used a few to make the cord/twine frame the flower.  This looks so much better IRL...one of those that is so hard to capture how it really looks, kwim?  But, its kinda fall-ish to me, so thats fitting for now, ha!

Ok, next up on your hop will be the uberly talented....



All of these stamps are available now!  Here is my affiliate link if you would like to  shop, at no cost to you:


Thanks again for stopping by and for all of the wonderful comments!  I read each and every one and they sure make my day!  soooo, Go ahead, Make My Day!  haha!    See ya tomorrow!!
