Hello, welcome to my blog!!
I want to start out by thanking everyone for the support and nice comments you all leave for me. I truly appreciate the support of this blog!! I enjoy card making and bringing my creations to you, this wouldn't be possible without your support, so again, thank you!!!
***I wanted to make you aware of the sales going on over at Scrapbookcom. They are offering 15% - 50% off all stamping and stamping supplies through Monday, June 29th! They are also offering a free "Layered Blossoms" stamp set with any $40.00 or more purchase, again click on the "coupon" section of the website and add it to your order. I have a banner located at the lower right side of my blog that takes you directly to the website.
Today I have a quick and easy card created with the Natural Silhouettes Stamp Set included in the new Nature's Touch card kit from Gina K. Designs. This kit is currently sold out but will be back in stock soon!! If you are interested in purchasing this card kit, click HERE then click on the "notify me" button to be notified when the kit is back in stock. I will also be using the brand new Master Layouts 1 Die Set, which are sold out as well. These dies should be back in stock very soon, you can click HERE then click on the "notify me" button to be notified when they are back in stock. For today's card, I will be doing some ink blending over a simple mask using inks from Gina K. Designs. This card comes together quickly and can be used for any occasion by changing the greeting. Let's get started!!
I will be doing all of my work today on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat.
To start, I take the smaller rectangle die from the Master Layouts 1 Die Set and cut out of White Cardstock, running them through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine. Next, I take a die from my Infinity Circles Die Set and cut out of Masking Magic masking paper, running them through my Big Shot. I then remove the release paper and adhere the circle die cut towards the top center of my panel. This will be my moon.
Using my Blender Brushes, I blend Blue Denim Ink around the circle mask and edges of the panel, leaving a highlighted area below the circle mask towards the bottom of the panel. This will create a glow from the moon.
Next, I take In The Navy Ink and blend around the edges of the panel, fading into the previous color a bit being careful not to overpower the previous color. Again, I leave a highlighted area below the circle mask going towards the bottom of the panel. After I am satisfied with the ink blending, I remove the mask. Using the remaining ink on the brush, I very lightly blend onto my moon being careful not to apply ink onto all of it. I want to create some shadows on the moon and still leave some white areas showing through.
I now place the blended panel into my MISTI Stamp Positioner and stamp an image from the Natural Silhouettes Stamp Set using Black Onyx Ink. I then choose a greeting from the same set and stamp it just above and off center.
Taking the bigger rectangle die from the Master Layouts 1 Die Set I cut out of Black Onyx Cardstock, running them through my Big Shot. Using Terrific Tape, I adhere my blended panel onto the black panel then onto a White Cardstock card base and this completes my card.
This wraps up a full week of cards that can be made using the new Gina K. Designs card kit. I can see why this kit sold out so fast, the three stamp sets included are so versatile for so many different kinds of cards. There are also dies included in the kit that I have to yet use. Gina really put together a fantastic kit with great designs!

ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy!!
DeleteThis card is stunning! What I loved is that you took the time to show how you did this. I often struggle with “shadows” and these instructions are easy to understand and follow. BIG! THANKS
