Gina K. Designs April 2016 Inspiration Blog Hop: StampTV Kit: Sending Love

The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous blog hop celebrating the new “Sending Love” StampTV Kit. We hope to inspire you with a variety of different techniques and styles used by our Design Team featuring the stamp sets and patterned paper pack from this new kit.  We hope that you enjoy these beautiful card projects as you hop along today. 



The first set is called, “Art from the Heart”. Art from the Heart features an eclectic variety of images and greetings depicting crafts, art, shopping and my little Village Paper & Ink Shop!




The second set is called, “Sending Love”. Sending Love features spring flowers and butterflies, perfect for watercoloring, Copic markers, colored pencils and more!



Enjoy the gorgeous inspiration samples from the team and then comment on each blog for your chance to win a $20 Gina K Designs gift certificate! To see who won, check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hop.







Finally, this is a card I made with the incentive set for this month.  


I stamped the images in black on ivory, then sponged the flowers in yellow, then orange, and then red.  The leaves I sponged in green.  I used a sponge dauber, first pouncing in the middle of the image with the darker colors, then swirling outwards. 
It is really hard to see, but I used a sakura stardust pen on the images to give them some glimmer!


The new “Sending Love” StampTV Kit is now available in the “What’s New” section of the Gina K. Designs store. Visit www.ginakdesigns.com to purchase your kit today!
