Gina K Designs April 2010 Previews, Day 1

It's that time of the month again when the Gina K Designs team previews the latest new releases. Today, we're showing Melanie's Gifts from the Sea and Tami Mayberry's Oh Boy sets.

I'm featuring Melanie's Gifts from the Sea today. I just love this set. I grew up in the tropics and shells were a big part of our home decor growing up. My great grandma owned a souvenir shop where she sold shells like the ones in Gifts from the Sea.

I am also showcasing papers from my latest paper packs, "Bright and Grungy Argyles." This pack of 10 digital papers include argyle patterns that coordinate with Gina K Designs Sweet Corn, Little Boy Blue, Green Apple, Passionate Pink and Lipstick Red. I used the Sweet Corn here with Kraft and Black Onyx to match the color of Melanie's lovely shell images, which are colored with Copics.

This next card uses the Little Boy Blue-coordinating Argyle and SU Cameo Coral. Doesn't that ribbon go with the paper well? It's from the Spring Mix Stamp TV kit.
