Gina K Designs' March Release Hop, Day 2

I'm glad you could join us today as the GinaK Designs team features the brand spankin' new stamps that are available for purchase now. Let's go straight to the projects then. :-)

My first card uses Theresa Momber's latest set, Warm with Love. I had so much fun coloring this iris with Copic markers. The papers are from the pack that comes with the new STV Kit. I also stamped the lace from Vintage Backgrounds on the bottom for added interest. After I colored the image, I die cut it using Spellbinders' Labels 10 and sponged the background using Distress Inks.
Warm Love
My second card highlights Melanie Muenchinger's Bring the Bling set. I stamped a row of "bling" flowers on the bottom, and also white embossed the edge of the patterned paper (also from the new STV Kit). The doilies and border were die cut using the Spellbinders' Floral Doily Accents and FD Motifs. The sentiment is from Warm with Love.

My third card showcases Asela Hopkin's Make a Splash set. This is such an adorable set and it goes well with Cosmo Cricket's Salt Air. I dotted the jellyfish using a white pen. It's a technique I learned from my friend Kathy.
