Welcome to Day 2 of the Gina K. Designs April Release Inspiration Hop! We are excited to share with you two more stamp sets which were released last Thursday. First up is Branching Out, illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger:
I used White, Black Oynx and Green Grass on this card which was very simply stamped and layered. I used a white opaque gel pen to add a few white accents.
The second stamp set we are focusing on today is Follow Your Dreams, illustrated by Theresa Momber:
I used Kraft card stock and kept this pretty monochromatic other than the patterned paper. It would work well for a masculine birthday card. Love the font of the sentiments in this stamp set...especially this bold birthday sentiment!

Both cards are great, simple and clean. thank you
LOVE the new sets and ideas! Beautiful cards! TFS!
Jennie, these are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!!
Jennie...your cards are beautiful and I love the masculine look of the birthday card.
Hi Jennie! You've managed to inspire me once again! Thanks for stamping the image on colored (green) card stock. I'm always a little timid about doing it that way, but now you've emboldened me. And thanks for letting me see the boat image without coloring. Sometimes I'm confused about which part is the image and which part is the coloring, but now I can see the stamp as it is. That helps! When are we going to see a stamp set designed by you? I'll bet it would be beautiful!
Gorgeous cards Jennie! :)
I really like the green and black. Both cards are eye catching. Thank you for sharing.
Your cards are beautiful. Everyone has used these in so many different ways, I love this new set.

I sooooo LOVE the stamping on the green cardstock and the white accents to the vine!!! You use Kraft so beautifully too!
I love the simplicity of these cards, they could be generic, or masculine. I hope for the day I can have cards at the ready!
Great cards--I like how you used a white gel pen for accents on the first.
