Hallo,
Welcome to another Gina K CSS Alumni blog hop!!!! This time we are using this weeks color challenge over at Stamp TV for our blog hop - white, fresh asparagus, and soft sand (or in my case, as close as I can get to those colors...).

If you are folowing the hop then you came to me from the very talented Sharri - www.istamp4u.blogspot.com/2011/03/gina-k-css-alumni-hop.html
I really like this color combo and managed to get 3 cards done - I was in a mood for clean and simple - especially for the first one.....
This first card uses 'Tree Silhouettes' by Gina. I stamped the group of bare trees in the backround with antique linnen distress ink and the main tree and phrase with peeled paint distress ink. I edged the panel with walnut stain distress ink and tried to decide what else to add ....and decided not to add a thing.
This second card uses the 'Hang in there' set by Theresa. I stamped the leaves on the base cardstock once then again before reinking. Then I stamped the frog image with brown memento ink and colored him with Koh-i-nor pencils (Gina K has these in her shop) - edged the panel with the brown ink and layered it to the green panel. lastly I stamped the phrase in brown. Another quick and fairly simple card - I just love this frog though, he's sooo cute :)
This last card uses 'Block Greetings' by Tami, 'A Year of Borders' by Melanie and 'Take Flight' by Gina.I stamped the butterflys in brown memento ink onto the sand colored cardstock and layered that panel to green cardstock and to the white base.
On top I layered the block greeting stamped with peeled paint distress ink and distressed the edges and then edged them with brown ink.
In the corner I stamped the butterfly and then stamped it again on another scrap of the sand colored cardstock - colored it with koh-i-nor pencils and cut it out, layering on top.
Added some green flat-backed pearls for accent....
That's all for today ya'll - I will prepost for you for Monday and Tuesday as I start my 3 day stretch Sunday night.....I do have some 'sweet' stuff lined up so hope to see you back to visit again!!!!
Take Care
