Inspiration Hop, Day 3: The Good Life and Assorted Greetings

Good morning! Welcome to our final day of Gina K Designs Inspiration Hops with the design team! As you hop through the 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.
First up, we have "The Good Life"! A really terrific set if you are an outdoorsy family or have lots of friends with lots of camping and road trip memories. Perfect for scrapping too!
I made a really simple card today, because I just had to focus on this different little patio chairs! We live in a pretty quirky neighborhood and it's so fun to see the different ways people have their porches and decks decorated, creating a perfect little place in the sun with just a brightly colored chair and a plant! (I also really like the little banners and paper lanterns in this set, how festive?!) Although we don't own any this style on our deck, I have a real soft spot for the retro ones like this in the center...so now I have one as a stamp, hee! ;)
I colored them and added a little Copic C-3 below for shadows. Instead of having just a plain white card base, I added some scoring to give it some clean lines, interest and be kind of reminiscent of decking.

Next up, we have the new Free with Three set Assorted Greetings. Buy any three sets from Gina K Designs this month and get these versatile sentiments free, perfect for your cards, inside and out!
For an anytime card like the one with the chairs above, it's so nice to have a greeting like "You bring a smile to face" for the inside. Sign it and you're done! Sweet and simple, says it all. :) You can also see how I used two more of the greetings from this set on this card form Monday's hop.
