Hi and welcome to the Gina K CSS Alumni November blog hop!!!
You should have come by the way of the Miesje's fabulous blog. If you just stopped by to visit, I encourage you to start at the beginning of the hop here. These talented girls have some gorgeous eye candy to share tonight!
Carolina picked out this festive picture as our inspiration piece for creating our projects.
A few things I noticed right away in the photo was the colors and the circle shapes. The next was some of the decorations on the boxes such as the bows, the simple sentiments and the poinsettia.
My first card uses the pink and blue colors.
I used the tree from the Spirit of Christmas stamp set. I colored right on the stamp with memento markers to get the branches green and the trunk brown. I decorate it with pink rhinestones and a sparkling star. I finished off the card with a big pink bow.
For my next card I used circles and some of the darker colors from the picture.
I used pattern papers and a border die that went with my circle theme. The poinsettia is from A Year of Flowers and was colored with copics, E40, E41, E42, G82, G85, G94 and YR20. I covered the petals with crystal stickles and the leaves with rock candy stickles. In the center are three pearls. I finished off the card with a couple of simple sentiments and a bow.
Make sure to leave a comment each of the blogs in the hop because on Tuesday morning (November 22), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and the prize will be a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!
After you are done hopping please stop back at Stamp TV and if you are inspired, we would love for you to join us by creating a project using the inspiration photo.
Now I am going to send you on your way to Tera's beautiful blog.
Enjoy the rest of the hop!!
