Good morning, I hope you had a terrific weekend! Today we conclude our Inspiration Hops with the Gina K Designs team, featuring "What's the Dirt?" but you can be sure you will continue to see more samples of this set and our other new ones throughout the month and beyond on our blogs and StampTV! :) Here's the full set:
...and here's my sample! I like the little trio of pots and this particular greeting grabbed me: "you are a ray of sunshine!" I love sponging rays of light on cards but I thought using paper today for a spotlighting effect would be cool! Simply stamp your posts at the bottom of a rectangle of Little Boy Blue cardstock and then again on white. Slice a diagonal of the white from corner to corner and layer over your blue like you are paper piecing! Color the portion that's in the sun, doesn't that look so cheerful and illuminated next to the blue?
Here is a closeup. Card also uses Black Onyx, Innocent Pink, and the new KEY LIME , which I love!! I love greens and this is one of my favorites now in the Pure Luxury Line, you must try! It's so vibrant!
Here are my new "Crazy Daisy" digital papers also, they use images from my "Spring Basket" and "A Year of Flowers" stamp sets, but they are also a terrific match for "What's the Dirt?" with these sweet daisies and ladybugs! They are available to download in full sheets, if you like big sheets of single colors, or quarters if you prefer printing out smaller mats all at once which are already sized for A2 cards. Wish I had some samples with them to share today but I don't have them ready yet, please check by later this week! :)
And now please see more samples from our talented Gina K Designs team, and be sure to leave comments all along the way for more chances to win free stamps! Thank you for hopping with us! :)
