Gina K. Sneak Peeks Day #1!!!!!

Smiley from millan.net

Ohhh yes it's almost Autumn!!!! Even though we've had an unusually cool and wet Spring and Summer.......it's been hot enough this past week to make me long for Fall!!!!! LOL Now how many of you already have Melanie Muenchinger's stunning A Year Of Flowers stamp set??? Oh it's fabulous!!! Well.......you KNOW she's done it again because she's always a rip-roarin' success!!!! This stamp set is called A Year Of Leaves.


There are a variety of beautiful leaves and some meaningful sentiments, so I created a little framed card.........getting some more Copic practice in! LOL I kept the Fall theme with the pumpkin cuttlebug folder and the gorgeous Gina K. Pure Luxury Pumpkin Spice and Green Apple and Chocolate Kiss cardstock!!! I don't know if you can tell, but I used the Pure Luxury Ivory layering weight for the sentiment. Couldn't resist at least a touch of bling!!! LOL


Oh now to Asela's beautiful stamp set, Fruitful Harvest...........I also have had lots of relaxing and enjoyable Copic practice!!! Except when I realllllllllly mess up the image and toss it into the trash!!! LOL I used just a bit of Stickles and some chocolate pearls to jazz it up a bit.......I liked the yellow cardstock with the raffia looking cb folder!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!

For more inspiration with the stamps previewed today, visit Gina's blog as well as Melanie Muenchinger, the illustrator of Year of Leaves and Asela Hopkins, the illustrator of Fruitful Harvest.

LOVE the leaves and the label you used with them. The textured background is a nice plus as well. The sunflower is wonderfully colored and I like how you added the corner brads! Great job!!
