Ginkgo

Dear Ones~
It's been snaining all day here - rain and snow together, in case you didn't know. Ha ha - UGH!!! I am so done with this stuff!!

Today's card has been crafted for the Papertrey Ink Challenge, white on white with die cuts and a pop of color. Kind of a fun challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, this week is Clean and Simple.

Here's my card:


I love this die and stamp set. It's called Harvest Berries, but I don't know why. It's ginkgo leaves for sure. One of my favorite shapes. This challenge was a little more difficult than I thought it would be. Mostly because you need to have the right die or it just looks like a blob. I stamped the image with GKD Sweet Mango Ink and then went over each line with a Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in kind of a dark peach color. Then I put white dots on each leaf with my gel pen. I kinda like the effect. Oh, and that heart is gold foil, but you would never know by the photo. Don't know what happened there.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD White Heavy Weight Card Stock
PTI Harvest Berries Die and Stamp Set
PTI Botanical Silhouettes Stamp Set for Greeting
GKD Sweet Mango and Charcoal Brown Ink
Wink of Stella Glitter Pen
Signo White Gel Pen

So that's it for me today. I adore your comments, thanks so much for stopping by!!

  5. Absolutely LOVE this!! Great job. I knew what staining was, my sister told me it was "staining" in MN today also. It's way past time all that white stuff goes away.

  6. I love the pop of orange with the white jell pen dots. It maybe snaining by you, but this is a happy card. I have this stamp and I never thought of using it this way. Inspiration again. Oh, and BTW, the weather here is cold, and dark and rainy and windy. I am with you, and tired of it, and I was gone for a lot of it. Lol

  7. I love your card and it is so gorgeously done. Great colors. But I agree with you in that it looks to be ginkgo leaves too. I wonder if it was mislabeled!

  8. This is fabulous and I do love this technique. Nice arrangement a great color for the pop, You would think with all the dies I have I would have at least one that would work... I am sure I do I just need to put on my thinking cap.

  15. I love, Love, LOVE this! We used to have a Ginko tree in our yard, and I remember when all the leaves would fall down in one day. Amazing! Your card is so pretty, just like all of the rest of yours! I love the shock of color on there. Awesome!
