Kim and I got together so she could finally break in her Gina K Wreath Builder templates. She did great! Here's my slightly remixed version of a Pinterest-inspired card.
Truth be told, I took it one stamp too far and the center was wonky, so I ended up cutting it out and putting a heat-embossed sentiment beneath it. The inspiration card used a dark pink, which I neither had nor wanted to use, so Kim chose SU! Wisteria Wonder, which was delightful. I started with a little Lawn Fawn Hippo ink, but moved to Wisteria Wonder as well. We also used Gina K's Amalgam Black. The sentiment it by the talented Dawn McVey for Papertrey Ink. The mandala was made with Mandala Maker stamps from Gina K. I believe the base is Wisteria Wonder...or it's close enough that it looks good.
The inside sentiment uses Lawn Fawn Hippo ink and a Papertrey sentiment. Kim and I both decided that sympathy cards are some that are always low in our stash, so that is what we decided upon.
Not a huge fan of this card, but I'll show it anyway. I was going for this color combo. I feel like it was a near miss. I am not sure I am loving Gina K's black embossing powder, but it could have been user-end error. The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.
My MISTI and my SU! inks and my wreath builder were not getting along, so this card took forever. I needed to start the images a little closer to the center, which you live and learn with the wreath builder. I used SU! Pear Pizzaz at first, then changed to an Ali Edwards ink because I think my ink pad needed a refresher. I just could not get a solid image, and with the repetition required, that adds a lot more time to the project, not to mention that if your paper moves in the slightest and you have to reink, you're done.
