Happy Tuesday! It has been such a thrill and honor to have been part of the first Gina K. Design's Center Stage Spotlight Design team. With the end of June comes the end of mine and the other five fabulous designers term, but leave it up to Gina to send us out in style with a blog hop!
Today, we are bringing you some projects and/or cards showcasing this month's One Free with 3 stamp set called Many Wishes. Basically the way it works is if you purchase any three stamp sets and will receive the Many Wishes set for free. Here's what I've done with it (You can click on the photo to make it bigger):
I found these 3" x 3" canvas frames and thought they would be perfect to alter and to use with this set. I stained the easel and then while it was drying I went to work on the frame.
I stamped the flower image and stem in white on a piece of the newly released Gina K. Designs Soft Sand Card Stock. I then sponged the edges and stamped the sentiment with brown memento ink. I then layered it onto a piece of Chocolate Kiss Card Stock and added some stitching. I adhered some ribbon to the corner and the whole thing to the canvas.
I hope you enjoy today's blog hop - make sure to check out what Gina and the rest of the team have come up with: Gina, Carla, Jennie, Pam, and Selma.
Thanks for stopping by!
