Gina K Birthday Blessings with Kaleidacolor Ink


I only have one Kaleidacolor ink pad, and it is fun to work with!  You get such pretty results with little effort.  It was fun to make this card and refreshing not to make a Christmas card or project.  It was fun to add "just a pinch" of sequins.  They are all in style right now, but I have almost never used them before.

Supplies:
Gina K Birthday Blessings stamp set
Kaleidacolor Berry Blaze Ink pad
Versafine Onyx Black ink pad
Neenah 80 pound Classic Crest Cardstock
Sequins from my stash

This project will be submitted to the following challenge(s):

Gift Tag - Power Poppy Short Stacks


I decided to stamp out some more Power Poppy images and was inspired by their Go for the Gold challenge and the Gifts from the Heart challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp Tag it challenge.


I colored the image with Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils.  I enjoyed adding the gold accents with a gel pen.  I need a bit more practice, but this will make a great gift tag.  I think it could be used for Christmas since it is versions of red and green.  

Supplies:

Power Poppy - Short Stacks stamp set
Versafine Onyx Black ink
Derwent Inktense pencils
Watercolor paper
Gold gel pen
Ribbons from my stash

This project will be entered into the following challenges:
