Inspired by...Gina A.

I'm so thrilled to announce that this week's featured artist is Gina Alferez.  Gina makes beautiful cards and I was lucky enough to meet her in person at CHA this year, and let me tell you, she's as sweet as pie! 

Here is today's inspiration card from Gina.  I love that she used a Penny Black Christmas stamp, Poinsettia Script, to create a gorgeous sunflower background. So clever!

And here's my take:

I began by stamping Penny Black 4236K Sunburst onto white cardstock using VersaFine Vintage Sepia Ink.  I heat embossed the flowers using clear embossing powder and then colored them with Copics.  Next, I inked the background using Peeled Paint and Forest Moss Distress Ink.  Penny Black 2025M Music Note Background was stamped with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, removing some ink with a baby wipe before stamping.  The sentiment, Penny Black Sweet Wishes, was stamped onto Spellbinders Labels 7 using VersaFine Vintage Sepia Ink.  The Labels 7 dies were inked with Peeled Paint and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

Thanks for stopping by! See ya on Wednesday with another FAB card by Gina!
