Stamp TV CSS Hop - Color Challenge

Hi and welcome to the Stamp TV CSS Blog Hop! I am first and I just love that :). For this hop, Miesje came up with a color challenge of red and green - [non-Christmas] - with the use of a neutral. I have no problem using these colors -- it is one of my favorite combinations.

I just adore the trend I am seeing of angled paper and stamping.  This worked really well using the GKD set, True Love.  Using copics to color - yep I am into these colors.

I liked them so much, I made a 2nd sample card.
I used the GKD set, Nature's Greetings, along with fun White Opal Liquid Pearls.  Aren't these so fun!  I just love how they look exactly like pearls. 

This is a prize hop!  Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, May 28.

Now, hop on over to Miesje Blog -- have fun looking at all the awesome projects and cards!  If you want to see who's participating in today's hop, click HERE



Thanks for stopping by~
