I'm excited to be sharing my creations for this very fun Blog Hop with My Sweet Petunia & Gina K. Designs.
A huge Thank You to Gina K. Designs for providing the gorgeous Boho Flowers Mini Kit to use for this Blog Hop (look at all of those goodies you get in one awesome kit).
I also received the Grand Greetings Stamp Set (which is free with a $75 Purchase from Gina K. Designs) and the Rounded Swirl Art Stencil.
I started by playing with the Rounded Swirls Art Stencil and some Bo Bunny Silver Glitter Paste on one of the Gel Press prints I made with my MISTI using Fireworks Shimmer Sprays … these colors coordinated perfectly with the kit.
I sprayed the three mists on my Gel Print and then used my MISTI to print onto a piece of water color paper.
I used Silver Metallic Ink and Silver Embossing powder on my Boho Flowers using the Ocean Mist & White cardstock (have you touched Gina K's white cardstock … it is so smooth) from the stamp set to coordinate with the Silver Glitter Stenciled Background.
I added vibrant matte enamel purple centers to my blooms and used one of the sentiments from the stamp set together with the coordinating sentiment die. I used 3D Glue Dots on some of the flowers for additional dimension.
Here's another view to see the wonderful metallic shimmer of those blooms.
More Stenciled Glitter paste on another Gel Print panel … I attached the butterflies with 3D Glue dots for dimension.
For my final card, I challenged myself to use the Boho Flowers Mini Kit to make a masculine card design. I created a green-on-green design using the leaf stamps from the set for my background.
Then I added the sentiment and a few enamel dots to complete the design … I love the dots and lines in those stamps.
So what do you need to do for a chance to win either a Standard or Mini MISTI from My Sweet Petunia or the Stitched Leaves Mini Kit from Gina K. Designs??? Just leave a comment on all of the blogs participating in this super-fun hop.
The deadline for commenting is September 5th at noon CST. Winners will be posted on the My Sweet Petunia blog winners page and on the Gina K. Blog no later than Friday, September 8th
