Gina K Designs | February release Blue Violets cards

 Hi everyone! Yesterday was the February release for Gina K Designs and I am SO EXCITED to share 2 cards using the new stamp set called Blue Violets. There are many other fabulous stamp and die sets in this release including A bundle called Radiant Roses and NEW Poly-Glaze Foiling Sheets! So be sure to check out the entire release!!

 I am excited to work with the new Blue Violets stamp set designed by Arjita Singh. It is a gorgeous floral set with really great versatile beautiful sentiments.

**Please note This stamp set and coordinating dies are sold out, so be sure join the waitlist and you'll be notified when it comes back in stock!**

I struggle a little with the blue violet color range with my copic markers, so I knew immediately I wanted to use Zig watercolor markers on these gorgeous blue violet flowers. But I wasn't sure if they would look better embossed in white or black, so I did both. Here's how they turned out.

I embossed the image on Bistol Smooth cardstock which I find works the best with watercolor markers. I find coloring with Zigs relaxing and once I finished the first panel it didn't take long for me to complete the second one. These violets are stunning by themselves, so I kept things pretty simple. I created a frame by using the stitched frame die from the Master Layouts 2 die set combined with a smaller rectangle die from my stash. I lightly colored 1 frame with the Blue Haze color and the other with English Lavender.

Here is a close up of the card embossed in black with a Blue Haze frame.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
