GinaK Previews Festive Frames

I am so excited to begin the previews for Thursday's releases. I know you will love every single one of the new GinaK Designs stamps. For today, the GinaK team is previewing Melanie's newest set, Festive Frame. It has a beautiful frame image and several holiday sentiments to fit inside the oval center.

I colored the image with Copic markers and used the Stardust Pure Glitter Pen to add the lines, highlights on the flowers and swirls inside the oval. It's my new favorite tool. I love how easily it flows out and the results are amazing, even though it's hard to see clearly in a photo. You will be seeing more of this pen in the next few days.

This card measures the typical 4.25" x 5.5", but the card base is only 4" tall. I wanted to extend the frame outside of the card base to make an interesting dynamic to the card. The scallop border is a preview of my new set, which we will show tomorrow. I used Cranberry Tart, All Spruced Up and White cardstocks, button from the Holiday Button Assortment and sheer ribbon.
