Happy Sunday Evening everyone! We're slowly digging out from under our 34 inches of snow here in VA and I'm sick of it already I tell ya! Thank god for good friends with large snow blowing machines---it helped tremendously! And of course we're having a Super Bowl party here with friends and we're all rooting for the Saints! GEAUX SAINTS!!!
Anywho, tonight is a very special Blog Hop for Gina K Designs featuring a beautiful stamp set created by Gina K herself! The Hope is Faith mini stamp set retails for $9.95. It was created to raise money for the Red Cross to help with the devastation in Haiti. $2.00 of every purchase of this stamp set will be sent directly to the Red Cross throughout the month of February.
As the first responders to disasters around the world, the Red Cross is there to help with the basic needs of these people who have suffered so much. By purchasing this mini set, you will help to make a difference to people who are desperate by supporting an organization that works tirelessly to feed, clothe, comfort and care for those in need.
*****************************
Hope is Faith
I love the butterfly and sentiment in this set--they're so elegant and beautiful! I paired them up with this beautiful paper from DCWV "Mariposa" and some layered Prima flowers.
I kept everything a little bit askew as if a gentle breeze was blowing around scattering papers lightly! Isn't this paper perfect for this set--I just love it!
For the butterfly image, I stamped it out onto Gina's Luxury cs (120 lb weight), colored it with copics and then added Black Spica pen to the black parts of the butterfly for sparkle. I then cut it out and added 2 thick layers of diamond glaze on top which makes it sturdy and easy to bend--isn't the sparkle pretty under the diamond glaze?!! I think the butterfly looks so realistic--really beautiful!
Now make sure and hop around to see all the fabulous designs by these lovely artists!
