Next up is the new Free With Three stamp set, Life's A Beach. You are going to love the fun beachy images in this set. To see how you can earn this set, click here. You even get to choose if you want rubber or clear! I'll post the tutorial for this card later this week or early next week.
My third card uses images from a wonderful new sentiment set called Birthday Greetings. The birthday sentiments in this set are so versatile, you'll be able to use them with any of your other Gina K images. I combined a Birthday Greetings sentiment with my new set, Under The Sea on this card.
There are also wonderful verses that can be used for both the inside and outside of cards. I stamped the inside of my card with one of the Birthday Greetings verses and then added a fish stamped in blue. I'll be posting the tutorial for this card later, also.

I cut a piece of Pure Luxury White card stock to 2 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches and sponged Memento Summer Sky ink.
Sponged Memento Danube Blue ink.
Sponged Memento Paris Dusk.
Next, I stamped the silhouette flower image, from the Hello Sunshine Stamp TV Kit.
Then I stamped a silhouette branch, using Memento Paris Dusk, but stamped off on scratch paper first to make the image lighter.
I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx. The 4 ¼ by 5 ½ inch card base is Pure Luxury Baby Boy Blue. I used my Score-Buddy to score some decorative lines in two corners. The sentiment was stamped on white and cut out, then adhered with Pop Dots.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!
