Inspiration Hop, Day 2: Dashing and Holiday Frame

Welcome back, friends!  Inspiration from the Gina K. Designs team continues, today featuring stamp sets from myself and Theresa Momber! (Plus a few I couldn't help mixing in, as they all play so nicely together!) :)

Be sure to leave a comment on the blogs as you hop though because we will be giving away a $20 Gina K. Designs gift certificate!  One winner will be chosen randomly each hop day from all the comments. More comments, more chances to win! :)

To see who won, check StampTV a few days after the hops.

First up, I have a few cards with Theresa Momber's Dashing! I just love how gorgeous Theresa's image looks embossed in gold!  I colored her poinsettia with the Zig Clean Color markers, then cut them out and popped over the white circle I stamped and paper pieced back onto my frame. Card base is GKD Red Velvet.  I also used one of the red markers from the pack to color in the belly band border for a rich, tone-on-tone look.  

Sentiment is stamped in GKD Black Onyx.

Isn't this scene awesome?? The silhouette of the sleigh and reindeer are the perfect beginning and the trail of dust adds a bit of magic. I love how the greeting looks like it's stamped over a big ol' moon in this frame! I reverse masked Blue Denim into the Holiday Frame to create a cloudy, night and accented with my big Pitt White artist pen for falling snow and stars.  Frame is stamped in Moonlit Fog on GKD Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White cardstock.

This next one was so fast!  I stamped the Holiday Frame and sentiment from the kit in GKD Dark Chocolate, then stamped the music background from the kit right over the frame in GKD Kraft ink. Just about a perfect fit to fill this frame in and perfect enough for me to use these two together a lot! :) I stamped my ornament topper above, colored with white and dotted on a string to hold it up, finishing with some adhesive rhinestones. Easy peasy!

Finally, I believe Gina shared this card in the after party broadcast, I am doing a video on this one! Just wanted to show you something fun with this set *without* the frame. The individual small elements will maker some great scenes on your cards. I love how leaving out his arms in the illustration allows YOU to add back in his arms and then pose him how ever you choose! :)  

What a silly little guy...! :)  

The great big greeting is from Theresa's Dashing set.

I'll be sharing some cards and videos using the wreath elements in this set very soon! And you can bet you will see more Holiday Frame in my samples tomorrow! I love not having to create a new sketch every time!
