Well, Melanie Muenchinger has invited several designers to participate in a blog hop to celebrate her TWO year anniversary of designing stamps for Gina K Designs. She is an amazing artist and paper crafter. A true genius! The set I've been asked to used in my project is School, Sports, Spirit. This is the set for which I was a guest designer when it was released a few months ago. I thought since we are having ice and snow type weather in Pennsylvania this New Year's Eve, I would make a card with an icy theme. I used the pair of ice skates and the Perfect Match sentiment to make an icy romatic card. I made my own glitter card stock with the Baja Breeze using VersaMark ink and some glitter embossing powder. It really looks "cool" in real life. I also decorated the inside. The silver ribbon with X's came from the packaging my boss gave my Christmas present in. The box was gorgeous and I knew I just had to re-purpose the packaging somehow. LOL! Here are the photos of my card. You can click on the photos for a larger view. The rest of the blog hop details are listed below the photos.
Melanie Muenchinger is celebrating two years of blogging and illustrating for Gina K Designs, and today she has invited 25 designers and YOU to join the party!
