Gina K Designs March Blog Hop - Day 1






The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop!!! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of deeply etched, pre-cut Gina K. Designs stamps! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!!

Today we are featuring Melanie's set Wild Flowers
 

I started with Spellbinders Nesties Assorted Leaves and made a sponged silhouette.  I then just stamped the flowers in black and added a red ribbon for pop.  These flowers are gorgeous all on their own!
This is my card from the Release Party
They are just as pretty when you color them!

We are also featuring Tami's new set Masculine Tags. I love that these are geared toward the masculine species. Sometimes masculine cards are difficult -- not with Tami's new set!


On this card I used the fun new in-house designer paper from Gina K Designs, Casual Friday.
That's it for me today, and this is [and always will be] the last of the hop today.  Come back on Monday -- we will have some more fabulous inspirational cards!

Thanks for stopping in~
P.S. Just jumping in?  Here is the list of all the other DT's participating in the hop:

Your cards are alway so fun! There always is a little surprise with a color, or dimension. Always an inspration! Once again, the "V" puts you at the end, but that makes it a grand finale once again!

What fun cards! I have to say, the car card is my favorite from the colors to the way you had the image behind with the sentiment going across in front. Wonderful work!

Vicki, awesome work. I love the idea of using nesties as a stamp guide I am going to use that idea for sure. I also enjoyed the masculine cards. Very classy.

Both flower cards are so great. The flowers do stand on their own. And I love your "guy" cards - simple, yet very classy!

Sharon said...

Like both the wild flowers cards.
And your masculine cards are really nice - a different look than all the others.

Love the touch of hounds tooth on the first card under the leaf. Really cool! Such a great trick to pop the embossed panel up - I need to remember to bring the back panel forward now and then.
