Lots of Gingkos

Hello! Today I have a bunch of Gingko cards to share using the brand new release from Maker Forte! This release is called “Everything’s Coming Up Roses,” but there are also some beautiful wildflowers, daisies, and gingkos!

Card 1: Gingko Background

This new white rubber stamp set actually has TWO Gingko backgrounds you can choose from! I inked up one of the backgrounds with Welsh Dragon ink, spritzed it with water, and pressed it down onto watercolor cardstock.

I used a water brush to move more of the ink on the bottom of each of the ginkgo leaves.

Then, I matted it on matching cardstock and added some of the brand new Lady Liberty gems. I also added a birthday sentiment that I foiled from the birthday ephemera set.

Card 2: Floating Gingkos

This card was so fun to create! I sprayed some Palm Tree reinker through a stencil to get a soft background. Then I stamped on the wreath gingko image in green inks…creating it darker in the center of the leaves.

I heat embossed the “gratitude” sentiment with new Solar Flare embossing powder. I love this powder: it’s gold and glittery!

Card 3: Layering Gingko

This set is so awesome because it has a solid layer, and then a more intricate layer that matches to stamp on top! Here I stamped using a variety of greens for the first layer. Then I stamped and heat embossed the top layer using the gold glittery embossing powder! (LOVE!)

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I just have to tell you that I have MORE gingko stencils coming my way and I can’t wait to share those projects with you, too! See you soon.
