 For my card I used Tami's cool set, In Stiches............

Since I'm not so great at sewing.....although I really want to work on that......Tami's set helps me cheat!!!  LOL  I stamped one of the straight stitch borders and then put the little chocolate pearls in between the stitches.  Now....I was supposed to also highlight patterned papers...and we have a LOT of gorgeous DP that Gina and some of our other Illustrators have designed!!  But I was getting ready for hubby and I to go away on our anniversary trip and forgot that part of the challenge!  Ha!  And I use patterned paper so often...wouldn't you know this time I make a CAS card!  LOL  But I did use my favorite Pure Luxury Innocent Pink and Chocolate Brown combo and I used the sentiment from another of Tami's sets, Happy Hearts.  The Scor Pal makes for a quick design with some texture.


Now hop on over to Lori's Blog for more Gina K. goodness!!!

And stay tuned for some sneak peeks for the next Gina K. Designs release which is on May 31.....and some super fun and new and exciting news from Gina and Stamp TV!!!!!
