Welcome to Day 3 of Gina K Designs’ May release stamp set inspiration blog hops! Our first stamp set being introduced today is:
The new One Free with 3 - Elegant Elements:
I made a monogrammed notecard:
The center element was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto GKD Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight Cardstock-White cardstock and die cut/embossed. The center monogram was computer generated, punched, and popped up on foam tape over the element. The monogram was framed with a pretty Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accents die cut from Black Onyx cardstock. The rest is all a pre-printed notecard!
Our second stamp set today is a second stamp set this month by Theresa Momber, By The Sea:
I made an 8-inch framed beachy artwork piece for my husband for Father’s Day using By The Sea (shh, don’t tell him!):
(Click on any photo for a larger view)
We love the beach/sea and I thought this would be a perfect gift for him. I wanted the pelican to be facing inward towards the other images, so I stamped him with Timber Brown StazOn ink onto a piece of acetate and flipped him over!
I adore this sentiment from this set -- it was inked with Rich Cocoa, Rhubarb Stalk & Paris Dusk Memento Markers and then stamped onto patterned paper and die cut with Spellbinders Labels Fourteen. A screw head brad accents it. Theresa’s group of seagulls was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink in the upper left corner. All the patterned papers are Webster’s Petite Yacht Club and the center sailboat piece was die cut with Spellbinders Grand Labels One and matted with Gina’s Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight Cardstock In The Navy:
Hopefully you can see all the dimension this shadow box frame has, with the seashells added into the fish net and the popped up sentiment sign and anchor embellishment!

First I thought the B&W card was the best, then I scrolled down and saw your ocean card. Oh My I can't choose. I'm going to save the pic of the ocean card if I may to study it. That's so artistic!

Love your cards, the first one is so neat and crisp looking, the background is perfect and this stamp set is excellent for using Monogram letters, wonderful job.
Second project, your art piece is great, I could actually get into something like this, I used to go shell collecting when visiting my Mom in Florida and have tons of shells, great idea.
Thanks
