Gina K Designs - New Release Party

Theresa Momber has asked me to Guest Design this month for her new stamp set Aloha.  (I would link you up, but I am on vacation and I scheduled this post before the stamps were available)  Anyway, when Theresa showed me this set I jumped on it!  Me - beach?  Oh yeah!  I made these 2 cards for the release party, but I wanted to share with you all too.
Aren't these silhouette images wonderful!!  I love the surfer guy... just screams Hawaii to me.  I did Direct to Paper Technique along with some sponging for the background, and than stamped the silhouette images.  Layered and mounted and we were good to go.... I am currently on a beautiful lake in Eastern Washington  - that's the closest to water I have been in MONTHS!  So this card got me ready! LOL



On this project, I found some clearance frames at Hobby Lobby for a buck!  I bought them with a semi thought of flowers ~~with the images on this set I just kept going with the flamingo and coconut drink!  This is sitting on my desk top~~ just to remind me of the beach.  I sponged my flowers and colored the flamingo and coconut drink with copics.  Feel free to head on over to the GKD store and check out all the new releases!  There are some new fabulous stamps!
Thanks for stopping by!!

These are gorgeous summer cards, Vicki, and I hope you're enjoying your vacation time. I'll be gone next week, so you won't see comments from me for awhile. Have a great time!

Vicki, If Theresa Momber asked me to be a guest designer for her I think you would have to administer CPR beacause I would be on the ground passed out!! You soooo deserve this!!! You have truly turned into an amazing designer over the past few months and you amaze me every day! Congrats to you!!!!
