You should have arrived here from the very talented Joy.
For my card I was inspired by the boats and the colors. I used Gina's "Enjoy The Sunshine" and Theresa's " Aloha" stamps, both are by Gina K. Designs. Card stock and ribbon are from GKD. The images were colored with Copic's. Sponging was done with Memento on pure luxury CS by GKD.
Now doesn't this look like a place to be?
You will want to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (February 14), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!The next stop ON THE HOP is the ever so talented Cheri. If you came here without stopping, you can start at STAMP TV.
I'm also entering my card in CPS anniversary celebration, day #7.
Hope you enjoy the hop and GOOD LUCK! Thanks for stopping by.
