The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop!!! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of deeply etched, pre-cut Gina K. Designs stamps! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!!
First up.....
I'm so much of a "literal" kind of girl sometimes and when I see the "basket" word, I think "ok... this NEEDS to be used with a basket"! But noooo.. not this time!! This time I decided I can do this WITHOUT "following the rules". Hee
I used Pure Luxury Sweet Mango card stock for my base and added a small layer of Wild Dandelion. I stamped the Halloween "basket topper" and used my Kooh-i-noor pencils to color the image and some OMS to blend out the colors a bit. I love that the card LOOKS Halloween but with a little message of love so even my dear hubby can have a small "treat" this year when the kids head off trick or treating. ;-)
My card base is Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White. I stamped my image using Memento Tuxedo Black before water coloring it. I really like how it came out and I think every image in Theresa's set can easily be water colored for a nice "set" of cards to package up as a gift!

Your cards are so cool! But I must say I love how the Halloween images are peeking over the top of the ribbon details. That is very clever. And great ribbon I might add as well!
I love the look of watercolor--and it really suits the look of an old, covered bridge! Great cards.
Love the look of your halloween card; great ribbon choice. The watercolor look of the bridge is nicely done.
The coloring on the covered bridge is awesome. Thanks for the great inspiration. The Halloween card is great too.
I am glad to see that you watercolored the bridge card. Love watercoloring and now that copics have appeared on the scene we see less watercoloring. Thanks
Both cards are beautiful Tina!
Fun Halloween card.
Gorgeous cards, love the halloween card and the country roads is beautiful :-)

Wonderful coloring on your "love" card, Tina -- great option with these cute Halloween characters! And your watercolored bridge is fabulous -- one of my favorite techniques, too!
