Inspiration Hop, Day 2: Peace & Joy
Good morning! The Cast and Crew for Gina K Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop! Gina, along with the Cast and Crew and Guest Designers, will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! 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.
Today we are showcasing Theresa Momber's Peace and Joy Christmas set! I stamped the bird tone on tone on some Pure Luxury Grass Green cardstock and then stamped it in again in GKD Black Onyx ink on white cardstock and colored. I cut out the circle with a die and colored with Spectrum Noir markers (DR2, DR3, DR1, OR1, CG4, GG4, EB3) I sponged a little around the edges with GKD Moonlit Fog ink to make it look rounder. I popped it up over the green mat to spotlight the image but also to look like a an ornament. I stamped my straight snowflake border from new Fabulous Holiday Fillers to "hang" it from and then made a double bow with some of the GKD gold cording. I alsofree cut a little topper for the ornament from some GKD Good as Gold cardstock. Finally, I sponged the edges of the mat with the matching ink before adding the GKD Black Onyx mat. Cardbase is Pure Luxury Red Hot.
