Today’s featured Gina K June release stamp set is the new One Free With Three, Bold and Beautiful! Isn’t it gorgeous? I can’t believe it’s FREE if you purchase three other stamp sets this month!
Here’s the card I made with the beautiful butterfly from this set:
The butterfly was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto Echo Park’s-A Walk in the Park yellow patterned paper and then hand trimmed. The stamped image wasn’t quite as dark as I would have liked (for it to match the brown patterned paper I used), so I colored the outer edges of the butterfly with Chocolate Copic Atyou Spica Glitter pen! Hopefully you can see the pretty sparkle in this close-up:
The butterfly is on a Pop Dot over the white 4-inch doily that I stamped the sentiment on. The rest of the pretty, bright papers are also Echo Park’s-A Walk in the Park –- beautiful for summer, aren’t they?
My butterfly card was inspired by this week’s Tuesday Trigger over on the Moxie Fab World blog. I liked the idea of the dark paper behind the doily and used the blue and gold colors from the trigger photo card on my card, too.
I also have a recipe card set to share with you today, that uses yesterday’s Garden Fresh stamp set the rest of the design team featured:
.
I stamped the orange with Memento Tangelo ink onto an Inchie Arts Ivory Inchie+ Square (which measures 1-1/2"), and then colored it with Copic YR01 marker. I also colored the outer edges of the Inchie+ Square with Copic YG03. Then I covered all but the outer rind of the orange with Crystal Lacquer. I added the orange square to a receipe card I made and printed onto Gina's Ivory Layering Weight cardstock -- a yummy fruit salad recipe a dear friend shared with me!
I thought a set of recipe cards, each stamped with a different fruit from this stamp set, would be a great gift!
EDITED: Since a few of you asked about my recipe card template, I've made it available as a free PDF download, HERE: Download 4-Color Printed Recipe Cards_SharonHarnist. There are four different colors of blank lined cards that print on one page, but measure about 4" x 5" (depending on how you trim them), which may not fit in some recipe boxes. I like larger cards and usually store them in a larger recipe box or photo album protective sleeves (each pocket, of course, measures 4" x 6"). These downloads will also be available on my Other Downloads and Tutorials page, for future easy finding. I'm happy you like them!
