Gina K Designs March Blog Hop Day 2




















Hi - Welcome to day 2 of the After Party Release.  I hope you had a great weekend.  I stamped.... of course.
For my first GKD sample today, Warm with Love, I also used Gina's sketch for today.  I might have added a 3rd image but, it's still the sketch. You can click here if you want to check out this challenge.  Remember, the random winner wins a stamp set of their choice $24.95 or less.  The new sets are also part of this choice!

Now, how fun is a Bring the Bling stamp set, illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.  All kinds of scrolls and swirls of dots. to be decorated with color, embossing (like me), or actual bling placed on top of the dots!  This set will be so convenient for everyone.  I don't use bling enough, (it's expensive!) with this set I will be able to!

And last, but not least is a fun, fun set Make a Splash, illustrated by Asela Hopkins.  A little CAS card just to show off this cute guy!  I just used the reverse side of a scallop punch for the waves, colored him with copics, and added some gingham ribbon.
I hope you are having fun on the hop today.  Remember, tomorrow and Wednesday there will be more samples to see!  Thanks for stopping by ~~

Beautiful cards Vicki! The lace on the first is the perfect touch; love pins and doily on the second; and that gingham ribbon on the third ties it together perfectly!

Oh Vicki, these are lovely! I especially love your first card. Those orange butterflies and pretty orange rhinestones POP against the blue background (guess I need to consult my color wheel more!), so pretty and vibrant! I love the clean, fresh look of your other cards too. Those hat pins are adorable!
