Mixed Media Magnificent Marigolds from Gina K. Design's New Release!

Hello, everybody and welcome to another fabulous Gina K. Designs release day! Today I had the pleasure to work with the new Magnificent Marigolds set. This set has a huge, stunning floral but I decided to use one of the smaller, individual flowers and make a simple mini slimline card. 

I stamped the image and sentiment onto Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor paper using Versafine ink and my Misti. I stamped multiple times so that I got a good impression. Next, I watercolored using my Daniel Smith watercolors.... Alas, I am sorely out of practice and my watercoloring didn't have the color contrasts that I was hoping for. 

Enter colored pencils and a fine tipped Sharpie marker to save the day. I used a couple of pencils to add a little extra shading and then followed that up with a ton of Sharpie scribbles all over the card. It wasn't quite enough so I grabbed my Distress crayons and smeared some of those onto the background as well.

To finish the card off I added a black mat to frame out the stamped piece. Then I added some gems and rhinestones in different colors to add a little eye-catching glitz and texture.

Alright you guys, that is it for today. I had a lot of fun making this card and am looking forward to playing with the largest floral stamp as well.

Have an awesome day!
