Inspiration Hop, Day 3: "You Go, Girl!" and "Pleasant Plurals

Welcome to our final day of the Gina K Designs Inspiration Hops! First up we have the new Free with Three set "Pleasant Plurals", what a useful set of greetings this is! Although the two fonts will go with any type of image, you can grab some DP and add a greeting and a few embellishments and you have a terrific, terrifically simple card! I just got this new Echo Park pack of paper Holly Jolly Christmas, so I thought the pattern with with the rows of houses would be perfect with the "From our home to yours" sentiment.
Originally, I pierced a row of holes and faux stitched with a red marker to make the trail from one house to the other, but it didn't show up well enough on the patterned paper so I used a row of 2 mm rhinestones and added a little Cuttlebug die cut heart for the end of the arrow. Make it work! Cardstock is Pure Luxury White, Red Hot, Grass Green, and Ocean Mist.

Next we have the newest set from Tami Mayberry, "You Go, Girl!" This sassy lady and sayings have so many possibilities. I started with this sentiment from Eleanor Roosevelt as my inspiration to make a card with a little tea bag tucked under the panel.
After stamping in Memento Rich Cocoa on Pure Luxury White, after coloring her skin with Copics E21 and E50, I masked off the sides with sticky notes and sponged Spun Sugar Distressing ink along the bottom half with a sponge dauber, allowing it to fade towards the top. I peeled off the notes and added paper piecing for her pants, using plaid paper from the new Stamp TV Kit Wishing You Joy.
Base and mats are Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown, I also used some baker's twine and a hole punch to thread the little heart punched tag with the greeting "You Go, Girl!". Stamped focal point is popped up on foam dots so you can slide the tea bag out. (Now my card smells super good, too!) Finally I added two paper flowers and a brad. I'm sending this card to a very special lady who always shows what she's truly made of (the very best stuff!) in tough times! (Hopefully she'll have a little time to come up for air and have a nice hot cup of tea!)
