Hallo,Welcome to the Gina K CSS Alumni blog hop. Our inspiration for this round was this first photo.
If you are following the hop then you came to me from Sue's wonderful blog - www.suessentiments.com/wordpress?p=5177
I admit to being truely challenged with this one (and by my big ol lead balloon head and yukky stuffy/runny nose.....bleh).
I love the wall mirror and it reminded me of winter trees/twigs so here is what I came up with....
This first card uses stamps from 'Mugs and Kisses' and 'Tree silouettes'.
I stamped and embossed the trees with white powder onto white cardstock and then sponged some light gray ink around them.
The mug I stamped onto red DP and then stamped and embossed the trees with black, cut it out and layered it on top.
With this second card I was thinking of a bigger wall decor item so instead of a twig-like mirror, I did the trees....The couch was paper pieced from the same red DP as the mug and the dressor, lamp and books were all stamped and embossed. The trees were embossed this time with copper embossing powder and again sponged with gray ink....
I am once again the end of our blog hop but if you have jumped into the middle you may want to start at the very begining of our hop here - http://www.stamptv.ning.com/forum/topics/center-stage-alumni-blog-hop-130
I am sure there is a ton of Awsomeness to be found!!!!
All for today
Have a great weekend!!!
