Gina K February release inspiration blog hop: Day 1

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Day 1 of the Gina K Designs DT Inspiration Blog Hop where we hope to inspire you with many beautiful ideas for the sets released in February! As you hop through the blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each because we will choose a few random commenters and they will win a grab bag of Gina's products!! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops.

Today we are spotlighting the new stamp set Lots of Washi, Illustrated by Beth
Stately Flowers 8, illustrated by Melanie

First up is a fun card using Lots of Washi.  This is one of my "go to" layouts for washi tape, so why not for washi tape stamps?!? -lol!  I used the Black Onyx, Sweet Corn and Pink Passion GKD Color Companions ink and love it's perfect crisp results!  Just a couple Color Companions buttons as accents and done!
I ran out of time to use this next piece on a card, but look how cute it is to stamp the zig-zag washi pattern and use the accent stamp in a different colors?
Next up is a birthday card using Stately Flowers 8.  I was inspired by my blogging friend Alice Wertz' lovely angled cards when I made this.  My sister-n-law's birthday was last week and I needed a fun card that was flat and easy to mail.  I stamped the flowers, colored them simply with copic markers.  A few sequins and some ribbon as accents.
 Ready for the hop?  Check out all the amazing designs and inspiration:

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!

    Both cards are great but once again I am more drawn to the one using the washi tape. It is just so my style. I love that you angled it. It just gave it that little something extra that kicked it up a notch.
