I have used a piece of the designer paper on both projects today to show the versatility of using Gina K. paper on your projects.

The images are stamped in Red Hot and Asparagus inks. The sentiment is in black ink. Red Hot card base.

This second card also uses part of the same piece of designer paper, simply cut from the other edge of the paper. This is a Kraft base.

The images are stamped in black ink. I used sponge daubers and the inks Red Hot, Turquoise Sea, Wild Dandelionn & Fresh Asparagus

Gina K Designs – December Inspiration Blog Hop – Day 2 (Ft. Xavier Zebra)

The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous blog hop celebrating the new stamp release for December by our illustrator team! We hope to inspire you with some beautiful card projects as you hop along to each of the designer’s blogs! Today, we are featuring the stamp sets by Beth Silaika and Claire Brennan.

This first card features the Hero set - I love the little yellow submarine and fish! Colored with spectrum noir markers!

This card is actually edible eggplant (photographed so dark, sorry) with white ink. I colored the stars and moon with a stardust jelly pen

This heroine set card is an innocent pink 4 inches square base. I used black ink for the cloud and colored it in with white ink and a wet watercolor brush. The birds are colored with spectrum noir markers. Super clean and simple card!

This card features the hot air balloon and clouds from the heroine set. I love all the sentiments in this set. All images are stamped in black (on ivory Gina K. base) and colored with spectrum noir markers.

This card is a bubblegum pink base with black in, colored with spectrum noir markers. I love to think of the zebra in a variety of colors!

This Xavier Zebra card features the leaf background on white card base with jelly bean green ink. The zebra is stamped and hand trimmed. It is fairly simple to trim up quick! Sentiment in black ink.

This small watercolor paper base features a green and blue Xavier Zebra. Image colored with spectrum noir markers. Sentiment in black ink.

This small watercolor paper on a fresh asparagus base highlights a watercolor green and blue background. Side images colored with gina k inks and a wet watercolor brush on a sheet of watercolor paper. I stamped the leaf and flower images in black and trimmed them and adhered them to the side of the main image. Sentiment in black ink.

This toucan (the kids want me to call it Todd the Toucan), is stamped in black, hand trimmed and colored with spectrum noir markers. The vine is also stamped in black on the ivory base. The sentiment is hard to see in the photo, but it is stamped in ivory ink on the black card stock. It says "a little toucan of my friendship"

This final card features an ocean mist base with some watercolor paper for the main image. The Todd Toucan, vine and flowers were stamped in black ink and colored with the spectrum noir markers. The sentiment is in black ink!

Question: What other animal images would you like for the collection?

Gina K Designs – December Inspiration Blog Hop – Day 1

**SIDEBAR UPDATED WITH ALL CURRENT STAMPS AVAILABLE AT GINA K**

December 2016 – Inspiration Blog Hop - Day One

This first card is stamped with black ink on lovely lavender card stock. I stamped the egg insides with various gina k. colors (jelly bean, ocean mist, passionate pink and lovely lavender). The card measures 4.25 squared.

This innocent pink ink with the flowers on innocent pink card features the sentiment in black ink. The main teddy image is on watercolor paper. I watercolored the teddy and heart.

This clean and simple card features the lake, rower and mountain images from Theresa's set. I used some spectrum noir markers to define the stamps.

I used sandy beach card stock with black ink on this card. I stamped the frame and tree image on a piece of sandy beach, then layered it on an A2 card. I applied some white ink with a wet watercolor brush and sprinkled on some Gina K. prismatic frozen glitter to the wet ink to make it sparkle.
