Hello Friends, Is your week off to a good start? If you are here for The 30 Day Coloring Challenge it’s Day 19! If you have any questions about the coloring challenge you can refer to this post .
I love seeing two companies come together especially ones I love. Without further ado ….. Welcome to the Gina K. Designs & Inkon3 Collaboration Blog Hop. It’s incredible when two stamp companies join to be creative with each other’s products as well as supportive of each other! We hope you enjoy all the inspiration along the way with everyone’s projects.
There will be a giveaway at the bottom of my post. To start at the beginning of the hop go to Gina K. Designs blog. If you are coming from the Ink on 3 blog you are in the right place. Grab a cup of something and enjoy what this line up has created for you. I am sure the inspiration will be tenfold.
For the hop I had such beautiful stamps to create with I wanted to use them all. I am combining Gina K. Designs “Vibrant Blooms” and Ink on 3’s “Bad & Boujee” stamp sets. The stencil is called “Lovely Lace“. Swoon! When creating my card I thought it might be different to design a monochromatic card for today’s post. Purple was calling my name.
To give the kisses die cut dimension I die cut two out of black fun foam and one from white cardstock. It was super easy to stencil the die cut word “Kisses” with some distress ink.
I stamped and colored several of the sweet branches and tucked them here and there. The word baby was stamped on the perfume bottle so the card reads Kisses Baby! More on the giveaway below.

Awesome stamps and stencil. I love the products of Gina K she has such beautiful flower stamps among others. I just went for the first time to the shop of Inkon3, I always thought they had only ink! No way, they have beautiful stamps also, including the awesome shoe with flower you did on day 18. Why I didn’t noticed that, I don’t know.
I think this monochromatic design is stunning, I keep this in mind for my next flower card.
Thank you so much for your beautiful post, see you tomorrow. Happy colouring.
Kathy Racoosin says
Henriette, I love these stamps too. Gina K is really talented, as well as Inkon3! I am glad you enjoyed my monochromatic card and my Day 18 flower and shoe by Hannah. I think I enjoy your comments just as much as you like my posts 🙂
