Good morning! 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 our 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 Gina K.
Designs products! To see the full list of winners check the Big News Forum at StampTV a few days after the hops.
First up we have the set Beautiful Banners by Becky Oehlers. I thought it would be cool to stamp the "happy birthday" banner over and over nested together to make this rainbow-ish gradient, fits very nicely! I popped up the cut red banner to echo my Pure Luxury Cherry Red base and added a popped up punched star from Wild Dandelion. Add a brad and you are done! Happy birthday!
Beautiful Banners
Next up we have all new Darling Divas by Debbie Corbari! I had to make a running card first for my runner friend Vanessa, colored just like her, with Marathon Diva.
Don't forget to add a little C-1 shadow below!
Punched circles are 1 1/4" and 1 3/8". Cardstock is Pure Luxury White and Powder Blue.
Here are all the new Divas! More cards to come with the other Darlings!
