Hallo,Time for another Gina K CSS Alumni blog hop!!! This time we are using a sketch by our very own Melissa C.
If you are following along the hop then you can to me from Sharri - www.istamp4u.blogspot.com/2012/01/gkd-css-alumni-sketch-hop.html
I am sure she had some wonderful stuff to show you!!!
Remember to leave some comments along the hop tonight because Tuesday am (1-17) we will be drawing a name to win a big grab bag of Gina K stamps!!!! The more comments you leave, the better your chances :)
I decided to do a Valentine card for the hop tonight. The mug is from the 'Mugs and Kisses' set and so is the candy stamp. The lace stamp is from 'Nana's Needlework'
I am not always happy with the results when I try for a CAS (clean and simple) card but I think it turned out ok.
I used a cuttlebug folder and some Coredinations paper for the background - sanding off to show the pink core, and some tiny pink and white heart shaped brads from my stash.
I stamped the lace with white ink onto pink paper and then stamped the cup over that and cut it out. The candy wrapper and pink swirl on top was done with a pink spica glitter pen and then the chocoalte part is a copic marker.
Well I am the end of the hop tonight - We hope you have enjoyed it!!!
All for tonight - I have several extra teenagers in the house tonight...my kiddos are so busy these days that I hardly ever see them, so to have a houseful of my kiddos and their friends is a big smile for me tonight :)
Have a great weekend!!!
Tera

greeting cards made from a designer's imagination are as varied and many as features forming a person's unique face.
