Just A Note | Crafty Friends Blog Hop ft Gina K Designs

Hello!

It's that time of the month again!  Time for another Crafty Friends Blog Hop.  If you have not joined us for one of our hops before, the Crafty Friends Blog Hop is a group of friends who have all shared some common crafty beginnings, and we hop each month with a spotlight on a company we love. 

This month we have chosen to spotlight Gina K Designs.  Gina has kindly shared a coupon code with our hoppers, good for 20% off orders placed today and tomorrow - use the code CRAFTYFRIENDS20 to get the discount.  

For today's card, I chose to use the Layered Eucalyptus Stamp Set, and the Autumn Wishes Stencil.  I started with placing the stencil on a light gray card stock, and daubing the coordinating gray ink onto it.  Then, I moved the stencil to the other side of the card stock, and daubed ink through again.  I matted this panel with River Stone card stock, and moved onto my images. 

I moved onto the stamps set - and I hate to even tell you how many times I stamped the Eucalyptus stems, trying to find the PERFECT combination of colors that I wanted. Eventually I settled on stamping the solid leaves image in Fresh Sage, and then in Tin Pail.  I moved to the stem stamp, and used River Stone to stamp that.  The stamp that adds some detail to the leaves was stamped with Butter Cream.  Finally, I stamped the solid leaves stamp, one more time, in Tin Pail.  I repeated this onto another piece of white card stock.  Then I fussy cut one of the stems, and die cut the other with an oval die.  I also die cut a second oval from River Stone card stock. 

I stamped the sentiments from the Layered Eucalyptus Stamp Set onto the stamped oval, using Gina K Amalgam Ink.  Then I layered up my piece using liquid adhesive and foam tape.  A few drops of Nuvo Ivory Seashell, and Morning Dew drops finished off the card.
