Welcome to day 1 for Gina K Designs Blog Hop. If you made it to the party last night, you were lucky enough to see all the fabulous sets - maybe even buy them! The Design Team will take the next few days, and hopefully inspire you with the newly released sets. Today, we are showcasing GKD
Border Bling, illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.
Mel has done another fun set using dots. As you can see, I used my [accidentally ordered]
blue liquid pearls for the look of gems on my card. I had so much fun (and will continue to) with this set and the liquid pearls! I just love the way this card turned out!
The second set we are featuring today is
Vogue Vases, illustrated by Theresa Momber. This card is also for the Stamp TV Friday Free For All challenge - a masculine birthday card. Once again, Theresa rocked this set with realistic images, along with some awesome sentiments.
I love the ferns in this set - they work perfectly for the masculine look I was trying to capture. The sentiment is so generic - this is for a birthday, but I think I will also be using it for retirement cards. Oh, it is kind of scary that I am making
retirement cards - really my friends are that
old?? :) Sheez.
That's it for me today -- Because of the holiday, Day 2 will be continued on Tuesday, June 1st.
Now, hop on to the other DT's and check out the amazing creations you will see.
Thanks for stopping by~
