Welcome back everyone! Are you ready for Day 2 of inspiration featuring the Gina K Designs January Release?! I have more to share!
My first card is featuring the new You Anchor Me stamp set. This is truly a beautiful set. Instead of stamping the image of the anchor, I used the coordinating die and die cut it twice from white card stock. Then layered it together with liquid glue.
On a piece of Layering white cardstock measuring 3 3/4″ x 5″, I ink blended Sea Glass and Sandy Beach Ink with a Life Changing Blending Brush. Then attached to a white card base with the Gina K Designs dot runner.
I stamped the flowers onto white cardstock with the Amalgam Obsidian ink, colored with copic markers and cut out with the coordinating die.
For the sentiment, I heat embossed it in white embossing powder onto In The Navy cardstock and die cut out with the banner die. I attached my flower and leaves behind the banner with Connect glue and added to my card front with foam squares.
Here is a look at the 6″ x 8″ stamp set You Anchor Me.
Next, I have the Massive Peony stamp set. I adore Hannah’s florals. Not only is she a brilliant designer but her coloring is outstanding! I attempted to no-line water color this image and posted my progress in my Instagram stories but I won’t lie – I was struggling. So for now, I put it off on the side and did what I was comfortable with and that was coloring with my Zig markers.
I heat embossed the image onto Bristol Smooth cardstock with Champagne Embossing Powder and Embossing Ink. Then used my Zig markers to watercolor the image.
Once dry, I stamped the sentiment in Obsidian ink, trimmed the panel down to 3 3/4″ x 5″ and attached to a white card base.
Here is a closer look at this gorgeous stamp set.
Last but not least is the Look For the Rainbows stamp set. This has a couple cute rainbow images and a bunch of beautiful handwritten sentiments. I focused on the sentiments for my card.
I used the Sunspot Stencil with a rainbow mix of Glitz Glitter Gels on Heavy Weight White cardstock to create my background. This is actually a spare background I had created back in the summer and had saved. I thought it would be perfect for this new stamp set.
I had trimmed the background down to 3 3/4″ x 5″ and attached to a white card base.
The sentiment is stamped in Obsidian Black ink and die cut out with a heart die. I added to the center of my card using foam squares.
Here’s a closer look at this fun stamp set!

Love your cards, Mindy – I usually do! I particularly like the first one – the anchor card and the way you used different colors on the upper and lower halves of the background.
watercolor is my media of choice, but i MOSTLY enjoy using watercolor pencil crayons, i just feel i have better control with them, tho this does NOT stop me from trying other media as well…ty for sharing

Such a wonderful lineup! I love what you did with the anchor – ships ahoy! The glitter glitz gel is so fun with the rainbow sentiment, and the champagne embossed peony is beautiful. I hope to see your completed watercolor of the peony soon; I bet it will be beautiful, too. Don’t give up! Thanks for sharing!
