CSS Blog Hop: Color Challenge

Welcome to another CSS Blog Hop! If you came from Jen's blog you are in the right place and if you didn't you will want to start HERE (at Betty's).  Carolina challenged us to make a project using these colors:

 

Here is what I came up with:

I used the stamp set Gleefully Yours illustrated by Nina Brackett and was inspired by a card I saw in which she stamped the musical score over the piano. LOVE that!  I used Red Hot, Fresh Asparagus, and the yellow patterned paper is from October Afternoon Thrift Shop.  I know you can barely see it, but I stamped a musical Treble and Bass Clefs along the left edge in red on the red cardstock (looks much better in person!)  Next stop on the hop is the uber talented Karen....can't wait to see what she came up with!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Gina K. Designs Sneak Peek Day 4

Welcome to the another morning of previews for Gina K Designs January Release and the exciting thing is ALL of the stamps from the previews will be available tonight for purchase at 10 pm (CST)!!!

The first is the newest set illustrated by Nina Brackett, called Gleefully Yours:


I adore the piano image in this set... My daughter has taken piano for years and there is nothing quite as sweet to the ear as hearing her practice. The card base is In the Navy and I also used Ivory and Webster's Pages patterned paper. After I stamped and die-cut the image I sponged it with Antique Linen.

My next card uses the *new Free with Three stamp set, Smile:


...and when you see the adorable images and sentiments that is exactly what is brings about...a SMILE!  It is a nice group of three trees and for this I did a little masking and paper piecing.
