Happy Gina K. Day!

Well, technically, Gina K. Day!  This is a holiday created by GKD & Stamp TV fan Sean to honor and celebrate all the wonderful inspiration and tutorials Gina has created to help us grow and improve as crafters (not to mention all the wonderful crafty products Gina & her illustrators have made to help us create with ).  For this special Gina K. Day Challenge at Stamp TV we were to pick a video that had the most meaning to us and re-create the card in the video as a tribute to Gina.  Well, I had hoped to get off my duff by now and watch Gina's videos on how to the Janome Sew Mini sewing machine, but since that has not happened yet, the next tutorial of which I am most fond is Coloring with Colored Pencils & Odorless Mineral Spirits.  I don't have the stamp set that Gina used in the video, so instead I used one of my first GKD sets that I ever purchased, Owl Always Love you and created this card:
along with the Big Scalloped Square Nestabilities dies and colored this sweet owl image with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and OMS.  I figured the sentiment is perfect for a close friend who will be moving sometime this summer.  This card also fulfills the requirements of Inky Impressions Challenge to use punches or dies, and Paperplay's Week 7 Challenge to make a card with critters on it.
     Thanks so much for stopping by!  I will have more for you to see soon!
