Seeds of Kindness * Gina K Blog Hop!
I’m delighted to welcome you to our “Seeds of Kindness” blog hop, featuring a beautiful stamp set by Gina K. In fact, for a limited time, this stamp set includes a card kit with purchase! You’ll find that this is truly a versatile, many-purpose set as you travel through the blogs today!
The left side of the background paper was dry pressure embossed with a Tim Holtz embossing folder, while the right side gave me cause to get that paper crimper out of its drawer. The ribbon “leaves” are simply folded points of satin ribbon, and the plant image appears to be ‘hanging’ from a large button-type brad. This card is inspired by Jessica Fick’s sketch challenge at the Gina K. Release Party earlier this month. You’ll find lots more challenges and inspiration over at Gina’s Stamp TV!

Bev, Gorgeous card! I love the embossing and crimping together! Beautiful coloring on the ivy plant too!
Very lovely card. I like how the plant is hanging from the brad. I also like how you used the small Labels 11 for the thank you sentiment to carry the same look you used for the plant and the matting.
I haven’t looked at any of Tim Holtz’s emboss folders. I may just have to do that.
WOW, Bev! Great card. I do love your background combo – it pops that focal image right off the card. Beautiful colors.
Bev.. you are amazing! I love the brightness of this… and the brad for hanging the pot… SUPER CREATIVE!!! Love it!
