Gina K sneak peeks day 3: Live Life Loud and Christ is Risen

Hi everyone!  Welcome to day 3 of the Gina K Designs February release sneak peeks!  Today we are previewing two sets, Live Life Loud and Christ is Risen.  First up, Live Life Loud.  This is a super fun set illustrated by Tami Mayberry.  It has 8 images and 4 sentiments.  I have to say, this is the perfect set for all those tweens out there!

For my card, I went SUPER CAS.  I easily could have omitted the white matting and made it a 1 layer card.  I stamped the square outline image in Versamark and stamped the 2 other images and sentiment directly over it.  Gina's stamps are cling mounted red rubber, so for perfect placement of images, I always use a Stamp-a-ma-jig -truly a life saver!!

Next, we have Christ is Risen.  This amazing set is illustrated by Nina Brackett and has 4 images and 9 sentiments.  For my card, I stamped the image with purple pigment ink and embossed it with clear EP.  I highlighted the wings with a pale yellow copic marker and accented the image with tiny yellow rhinestones.  IRL the rose matches the purple ink perfectly, but for some reason the picture makes it look much darker.

You know, in looking at my cards I notice that I used kraft cardstock on both and I didn't use pattern paper on either one.  The funny thing is I made these cards on different days!  Funny how that happens.
