GinaK March Release Challenges

Hi Guys,
I'm back again this week with some entries for the recent GinaK March Release challenges. My first project is a card I made for challenge #10- using the letterpress technique. I purchased this particular Spellbinders Impressabilities (Fleur de Lis) almost a year ago and wasn't sure what to do with it. Luckily Gina has a fabulous technique video showing you step by step instructions! The sentiment is from the GinaK Designs "Bold & Beautiful" stamp set.

My next project is for challenge #9 - distressed newspaper. I made another sympathy card using this technique. The sentiment for this card is from the GinaK Designs "He is Risen" stamp set. I used Memento London Fog for the distress part and highlighted the 'veins' in the newspaper using Memento Tuxedo Black.

The third card is for challenge #5 - 'emerging butterflies'. I chose the "He is Risen' stamp set by GinaK Designs and used the verse on the background with the cross image clear embossed over the top for a really beautiful Easter themed card. I really love the colours on this card!

My last project is for challenge #2 - sponging a layer. I've used this technique many times before and really love the clean, simple lines it creates. This technique produces a beautiful CAS card! the image and sentiment are both from the GinaK 'Whimsical Spring' stamp set. You can't see it in the picture, but I spritzed the card with gold glimmer mist for a final touch.

Thanks for looking and leaving awesome comments! I'm hoping to have another post for you within the next day or two.
Hugs,
M
