Welcome to a color combination challenge blog hop hosted by
members of the Gina K.' CSS Alumni team. Today we are featuring hand
drawn sets designed by Melanie Muenchinger and Theresa Momber. As you
hop along make sure to leave a comment because on Tuesday morning
(September 25), we will randomly choose two comments from all the blogs
and two lucky individuals will receive a Gina K. Designs Stamps set each
(the winners will receive either a set designed by Melanie Muenchinger
or Theresa Momber).
I absolutely love the stamp sets from Theresa and Melanie. I think I have most of them so choosing which sets to use was no easy task. Since we are going with the fall colors (Fresh Asparagus Sweet Corn, and Pumpkin Spice), and since I had not yet inked up Melanie's wonderfully versatile Basket Additions 3 I decided to use that one. I made this card to send to my grandchildren in Alaska - I miss them! I placed the adorable Halloween images in the Holiday Basket. It was fun to make. I do not know if you can see the sparkle from the Sakura pens to highlight the images.
I find that I am always low on masculine cards (6 sons) so for this card I chose Theresa's Mountain Wilderness. I am not sure if you can tell that I lightly stamped some trees on the green background. I wanted this to be a birthday card so I used a sentiment from Theresa's The Giving Tree. It was an afterthought to stamp a row of trees along the bottom of the card. I used some sparkly gems to give it just a bit of bling - not too much since my guys wouldn't notice anyway!
Thanks for stopping by!

Love the Halloween basket! Fun and very Halloween-ish! Love how you used the trees to create the border at the bottom of the second card.

Great cards...love the fun,scary card for Halloween.
What a wonderful Halloween card and your other card is so beautiful and delightful as well.
Great job!

Enjoyed your cards. I love the baskets.
Trees across the bottom of the second card made an interesting 'border' and helped the card be masculine. Thanks.
Man, I never thought of stamping across a border like that - it's so fantastic, I'm going to try it!!

Awesome cards! My favorite is the second one I love the bling and the little trees that you stamped at the bottom for a border!
Great cards, but I really like the second card! thanks for sharing!
Lovely cards! And I like the little bit of bling.
Love that basket of cute ghouls. Great color selections., too.
A great basket of spooky images and the sentiment is perfect! On the second one I was taken by how much the diecut looks like a vase.
Love the Halloween card. Very interesting use of labels and how everything is embossed together. Cute basket full of Spooks. Great use of the label to portrait a vase encasing the plant on the second card. Creative use of trees along the bottom and faintly noticeable in the asparagus background.
Both cards are beautiful.
These are fabulous cards, Miesje! Such a fun Halloween/love you card; and your stamped tree border is so clever and perfect!
I was glad to see your card using Theresa's set since I too am always looking for guy ideas.
Adorable cards & designs- alwys love to see new ways of using the dies!
Just beautiful, I can't pick which one I like best, although the first one is so cute.
I love the layers and color combinations!
