**Gina K Stamps are NOW available in both CLEAR & RUBBER!**
Today the Gina K DT is showcasing 3 new stamp sets for you and this one combines 2 of them! I used both the StampTV set “Hello Sunshine” AND “Birthday Greetings” on this project. The Birthday Greetings is a fabulous set to have and I adore each sentiment especially this one! I created the background paper with the StampTV set. I stamped the flowers with cream ink and the leaf stamp image with dark green ink onto my lite green cardstock randomly. I love the monochromatic colors of this card, fresh and elegant! The darker green cardstock has a slight pattern to it like linen which I left alone. Some cream ribbon and a bow with my Bow Easy finished it off.
The second card I made is a CAS-one-layer-card…do NOT faint…I know you are in shock but YES I did create a one layer card LOL! I liked the images from this Free With Three set “Life’s A Beach” (buy any 3 stamps sets from Gina K and get this one for free)---they are very graphic so I went with a simply-graphic card! I stamped the sand pail onto my kraft cardstock, then paper pieced parts of the sand pail with patterned paper. I shaded the paper with my Copics before pasting it on. I used my Sharpie White Poster Pen for the white accents..I love white on kraft cuz’ it POPS! I stamped the sentiment with white ink and added Stickles to it and then put some black pearls underneath. I scored my kraft cs with my Scor-Pal for 3 raised score lines…then cut 2 thin strips of pattern paper and added them in between…with a line of Stickles in between. The black lines were drawn with my black Spica and and then added white dots with my Sharpie. So yes its CAS but I added lots of tiny details LOL! I have to say I quite like it 
Ok now you need to hop along and see what the rest of the DT has created for you today…its sure to be fabulous!
