Gina K. Designs May Sneak Peek Day #1..........Botanicals and Beach Bum!!!!!!

Yes, here we are!!!  It's actually summertime at my house now and what a way to kick off summer than with this amazing Gina K. Designs release!!!!!

This is Gina's new one.............Botanicals...........and it's just so elegant and truly beautiful!!!  I am loving experimenting with some different color combos lately.......and this yellow and chocolate just caught my fancy!!!  I stamped the script bg stamp first in Vivid Lemon Ice and then stamped one of the botanical images in Vivid Brown over top.  Of course I still gotta have some bling and my favorite Spellbinders Fancy Tags!!!!  I used one of our new Pure Luxury Cardstock colors here.........Wild Dandelion.....I LOVE this color!!!!  (Three new colors will be released on Thursday night!!)  And then here's a quick design for the insides of cards..........I just can't leave them "nakie" anymore after seeing so many of  Jessica's gorgeous cards complete with beautiful inside designs!!!!

Next here is Rupa's summertime fun Beach Bum stamp set!!!!!

So I tried something kinda wacky.........I used real sand.......ok, ok, ok, I live in the mountains and our "sand" isn't really true sand as you can tell!!!  LOL  But I had fun creating a little beach scene!!!  I paperpieced the towel from the image and colored the umbrella with Copics to match!!  I used Pure Luxury in Ocean Mist and Red Hot, along with White.  I sponged using Vivid Tuscan Sand and Vivid Aqua.  Gotta have some bright bling on a summery card!!!!  HeeHee!!  And again here's the inside...........really just a quick, little sumpin' sumpin' really gives your whole card a "finished" look!!
