I created two cards with this month's adorable StampTV Kit Spring Parade.
For this first card I took this pretty petaled flower bloom and inked it in white craft ink onto the Gina K card stock in the kit in this pretty teal colour, embossing with white. After it cooled I came back and added little bits of colouring with my BG57 Copic marker. Instant depth!
To tie in the background stripedy paper from the kit to the main image I also stamped the leaves from the set onto the dp, and sewed the panels together. Then it's just a wee bit of pretty ribbon and brads, and I love how it turned out!
For this next card I went for a bit more of a whimsical feel...
What do you think - butterfly or dragonfly? It could be both right? First I stamped and embossed the lovely butter/dragon-fly onto Gina K Black cardstock and then also did a second stamping onto White cardstock just cutting out the inner wings and popping them up for a real look of flight. The paper from this kit is such a fun design.
I tied a double bow of gingham and this pretty teal organdy ribbon, and I love how it softens the effect.
A pretty pair of cards that were so fun to make!
Now for more fun you can head on over to the lovely Sharon Harnist for more Gina K Inspiration!

Hi, Christine-- I am a fairly new follower and fan of yours. Your creativity just FLOORS me! I love your idea of putting two layers of the butter-dragon (smile) fly together for the depth and interest! Sigh... must get this kit too I'm afraid LOL. Thank you!!!
oooops - PS I do admire your idea to stamp the flowers/emboss in white, then just touch the centers with a darker marker for depth = GENIUS ;)
