Hi paper crafting friends and welcome back to my card making blog. Today I’m sharing Gina K Pink Cone Flower.
I was going with a Snarky Theme today: Certainly the Gina K Colossal Cone Flower stamp set isn’t snarky at all, but the Hero Arts Snarky Mix & Match Messages are kind of fun and certainly contain a bit of “snark”, haha.
These flowers are so beautiful. Bright and cheery and large. These are 5 x 7 cards and the details are in the PDF download for you below.
I started by using my Misti to stamp the images in Gina K Amalgam black ink on watercolor paper so I could use my Nuvo Brilliantly Vibrant Watercolor pencils to color them.
There is a coordinating set of dies to cut them out too (see links below), I fussy cut mine as I forgot to order the die set.
Before I cut them out, I placed the sheet back into my Misti and stamped the image again to refresh those nice crisp black lines.
For my card front I used the Gina K Stencil “Thick Brush” and some Nuvo Glacier Paste to create a tone on tone background for my flower. I wanted a little something back there, but really subtle so the embossing paste was perfect.
Next, I white heat embossed the larger of the sentiments onto black card stock and stamped the smaller one directly onto the card front.

Your flowers are beautiful! Love the colors and the designs are perfect! 🙂
THanks Amy, they are a blast to color because they are so big
Beautiful Sandi, wonderful colours and I love the glacier paste stencilling in behind.
Thank you Kia, it was just a little to plain once I had all the pieces ready, so it needed just a little something going on back there
I love how your card looks so pretty but has that little bit tooth to it…
haha, thanks Nancy, just a little bit
Fabulous coloured cards, Sandi! Those are pretty gentle snarks – I think the recipients would forgive you pretty easily 🙂
haha, I know Deborah, this stamp set doesn’t have real serious snark, LOL, just enough to get away with you know!
These are wonderful Sandi!
thank you Kathy
Beautiful card, amazing coloring and love the texture you added
Thanks Nancy, they needed a little something in the background and I pretty much love stencils and paste, so here we are, haha
Love the simplicity of the cone flower and the coloring is great,especially the center.

thank you Carla, after I had the flowers cut out I decided it needed something in the background
These are beautiful cards! When I first looked at them I thought, these are too pretty to be snarky, then I read them and LOL, love them!!
Thanks Susan, just me trying to be sneaky, haha
Love the cards and the snark!

These are beautiful and SO TRUE!!! I love the Happy Birthday one!!!
thank you Meghan, I thought they were kind of fun and had a couple of friends in mind when I created them, haha
Love this card, but of course, all your creations are awesome! I haven’t tried watercolor pencils so this was very interesting.
aw, thank you Vicki, the watercolor pencils are very easy to use and have great pigment and a great price point too, consider giving them a try.
Love a good witty saying. These are beautiful cards even with the sass!
thank you Charmaine, I thought a pretty card could reduce the sass just a touch, haha
Two amazing cards Sandi! Love the tone on tone back grounds! Great sentiments too!
thank you Allison
What a great idea to combine a beautiful card with subtle snark. They won’t expect it. Lovely colouring!

Love the sentiments and the pretty cone flowers! Great cards!
thank you Denise
Your card is beautiful as always! And of course, I always love snarky!
thanks Marita, and a very Happy Birthday to you too.
Enjoyed the blog hop! Left comments on all or tried to! Several only gave me a Google option and I couldn’t just add my name and email, so I don’t think those comments actually posted.
Perfection! I love a card with some snark!
Thanks so much Cindy, me too.
Love your card. I love the embossed background on just part of the card. the color of the flower cheers me up
thank you Susan, I kind of like making happy feel good cards
Oh my gosh! The birthday card is….well it reminds me of an old boyfriend. I was about to turn 19 and he said that women hit their peak at 19, and then it’s all downhill. It bothered me, until I thought: Hey, just because he said it doesn’t mean it’s true. Jerk!!!!!! He only lasted days after that…. 🙂
You’re right, he’s a jerk, sorry my card brought back such a bad memory, but at least you kicked him to the curb!
What pretty and funny cards…great way to combine the two. Thise flowers are gorgeous.
thank you Mary Anne
Beautiful cards. So funny.
thanks so much Marisela
Beautiful. Love this set. Thanks for sharing
thank you Jo Anna
Love your card and this set!! I am lucky to live in Wisconsin only a few miles away from the Gina K store and went in and bought this set soon after I saw your beautiful card… we are in the midst of getting 10 inches of snow between today and tomorrow so I hope to be doing some stamping with my new set!
Hi Sue, lucky you, I would be in there daily, haha…..enjoy your stamping and ignore the snow, that’s what I do up here, haha
