Gina K. Designs Sneak Peek Day 1

Welcome to the first day of the previews for Gina K Designs January Release!  The GKD DT is previewing two upcoming stamp sets: Where Your Heart Is and Ready Set Snow.   Today I have a card to share that I made with the stamp set Where the Heart Is, which is illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger


For my card I used Ocean Mist as my card base, Vivid Aqua Dye ink, Big Scallop Rectangle Small Spellbinders dies (these dies frame the rectangle hand image perfectly) and some Basic Grey Kioshi patterned paper.   I had a little ink smudge and wouldn't you know a Bling and Dazzle Ivory Sateen flower covered it up nicely!  I love the way the hands create a heart and Melanie has thought of everything when it comes to sentiments for this meaningful stamp set...  

Sorry to keep this so short, but we have a nasty round of strep going through our house and thankful I created this before it hit!!  

    We'd also like to invite you to attend our Release Party Thursday, January 6th starting at 7 pm central on StampTV. There will be challenges, contest questions, and more samples from our designers on all the new stamp sets being released this month. 
    Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
    Blessings,
