Today’s preview uses the set “Tropical Flowers”, designed by Gina K. and it was a prize on the cruise. Aren’t the bold images just lovely?
Gina K. Designs is also participating in the “12 Days of Christmas” celebration over at Paper Craft Planet. Today is day twelve of the celebration and the challenge is to use twelve embellishments on one project. It took quite a bit of planning to pull off my card below – twelve is ALOT!!
Everyone is welcome to participate, and everyone who makes a card for this challenge and postsĀ it to Paper Craft Planet, will be put into a drawing to win a Gina K. Designs stamp set. The details should be on the home page of Paper Craft Planet.
The main flower image was stamped onto textured vellum using the “Rock-n-Roll” technique and Dark Chocolate ink. I then cut it out and embossed it with the Labels 2 nestabilities die, and adhered it to a white piece of Pure Luxury cardstock also cut with the die.
The background was stamped with two leaf images using white ink on Kraft cardstock and then dotted with a white gel pen. I then adhered it to the Kraft cardstock base and covered the left edge with nine buttons from Gina K. Designs. The flower image was then mounted with dimensionals to the cardbase and three little rhinestones finished off the card.
I LOVE how this turned out!!
