Rainbow Ink Pads

I've had several of these multi-colored ink pads for a few years but recently got them out and started playing with them again.  On the card above I brayered on the ink (Kaleidacolor Blue Breeze by Tsukineko) over vellum, stamped the floral image with black Staz-On ink, then layered the panel over patterned paper.  You can see the honeycomb pattern in the background.  The stamp image above is by Hero Arts - "Silhouette".

For this card I applied the ink with a brayer to regular paper, stamped the floral image and then layerd the blooms over the cut out of the leaves / stem.  I used "Hydrangea" by Hero Arts.

thanks for stopping by!

Gina K. Designs "Fall Foliage"

Hello friends.  I know "fall is in the air" for some of you ... sadly not here in Texas.  We are still in the mid 90's every day so far for September.  I am so ready for fall.  So I've started putting up all my fall decor.  I've started a fall banner for the mantel.  I have all the flags done ... just need to add some leaves between the banners.  Hopefully will be able to share that soon.

In the meantime you can check out a fall banner I made last year with a cool tutorial on how to make some textured leaves HERE.

Some of the ladies from the Stamp TV Center Stage Alumni are having a blog hop and here is the inspiration photo :

So I'm sure you will be able to find more fall inspiration based on this photo.

You can check it out HERE.

For today I want to share some cards I created using Gina K. Designs "Fall Foliage".  I will be adding some of these to my banner as well.  I wanted to play around and see what different looks I could get.  On the card above and on the last one, I stamped the image in brown ink over patterned paper.  I used my favorite brown ink Tsukineko - Brilliance "Pearlescent Chocolate".  

But for this one I used my a rainbow ink pad.  This particular one is by Tsukineko - Kaleidacolor "Cappuccino Delight".  Gorgeous fall colors.  Tsukineko makes rainbow pads in lots of fun colors and you can check them out HERE.

On the card above I simply stamp over patterned paper again.  You could whip up fall cards very quickly with these beautiful images!

Have a blessed day!
