Pink and Grey color combo Christmas Cards

I was able to make two new Christmas cards this morning. I think I am getting much closer to the amount that I will need this holiday season.  I think it is fun to work on them in the summer when there is no pressure at all!

I created a sheet of patterned paper with my snowflake stamp set and then cut it in two to create two similar cards.



Supplies:

Hero Arts CL622 Designer Snowflakes Set
Hero Arts CL342 Sentiment (sending warm fuzzies)
Lawn Fawn Snow Day stamp set (You Warm My Heart)
Avery Elle pigment inks: Fog, Silver Fox, Raspberry and Pixie
Versafine Onyx Black Ink
Recollections Grey Kraft cardstock
American Crafts Texture Cardstock in Pink
EK Success Snowflake, circle punches
EK Success Snowflake Border punch (positive and negative)
Spellbinders circle nestabilities

These projects will be entered into the following chalenge(s):

Inkadinkado Sketchy Sailboat


This water was made using a brush stroke "dry on dry" technique that I learned in a class at Craftsy called Watercolor Cards Made Simple.  

The sailboat was stamped with a simple watercolor stamping technique where you ink up the stamp, then spritz a very fine mist of water on it before stamping.  

Supplies:
Inkadinkado Sailboat Sketch stamp
Gina K Designs stamp set
Versamark ink
Clear embossing powder
Distress inks: Broken China, Faded Jeans
Canson XL 140# watercolor paper

Fast & Easy Card - Gina K Wildflowers



I have not had much time or inspiration to stamp and participate in blog challenges until just lately.  I had the background stamp out to work on this Shadow Stamping challenge over at Artsy Inkers, so when I saw this challenge for Fast and Easy, I thought it would be the perfect one to keep working with as this card idea only takes a few minutes!

Supplies:

Gina K Designs Wild Flowers Stamp set illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger
Hero Arts Harlequin Shadow Background stamp
Avery Elle Pigment inks in Sea Glass and Sugar Plum
