A Gina K. Hop.............Vintage Style!!!!

Smiley from millan.net
It's a beautiful time of year..........and tonite's Gina K. Designs hop will put you in a holiday spirit for sure!!!!! We're showcasing Nina's beautiful Vintage Borders stamp set tonite!!!

I stamped this border image on both sides of my cardstock in Colorbox Gold Ink and cut out the edging. The scallop punch I have didn't work, so I cut them out with scissors. I used the gorgeous and perfect holiday colors of the Pure Luxury cardstock, Cranberry Crisp, All Spruced Up, Good As Gold and White. I used the verse from the stamp set as the focal point and some gold bling to tie it all together!! Well, that and because...........ummm............it's BLING!!!! Y'all KNOW how I most certainly MUST have bling!!!! LOL
