This card had been fun to create. I used a pack of card stock that I purchased a while back, and hadn't had a project to use it on until this challenge came up. I'm so excited about getting back into the challenges. I have missed doing this a lot. I used a brown card stock paper for the background. Then, I cut slits on paper that I made to put the stamp on. The stamp itself, I purchased from Joann's craft store.
I used two different colored strips of ribbon across the bottom. I also used different colored buttons to filter in between each of the spots along the card stock. This card can be used for a male or female card. I love that about this card.
Many of the inks I use are from the Gina K Designs Ink Sets. I also use many of the stamps, but in the case, I chose to use a stamp I rarely get to use. That is the one neat thing about this particular challenge, you are not stuck with certain products to participate. I love that with this challenge.
On that note, I will say that many of Gina K Design products are really good products. So if you do get the opportunity to purchase them, I'd highly recommend it. Also, she offers many tutorial videos on how to make wonderful cards. I have learned so much from her cards and techniques. I've grown along the way!
