Gina's Challenge



I haven't done a "Gina's Challenge" in a while but this one appealed to me for some reason. Gina not only gave us this sketch but she also stipulated that the colours to be used were Choc Chip/Whisper White/Close to Cocoa and Pretty in Pink. These colours are apparently the colour scheme of the new house that Gina is building- very elegant!


Well I know the photo didn't turn out that great but these are the colours I used. Trust me it looks better IRL !!The base card is Choc Chip and the "scallops" Close to Cocoa.The DSP panel is Afternoon Tea (retired) and the stamp set Oh So Lovely (also retired -Hostess) (Sorry I haven't got much new stuff yet ! )The pink if you can see it is behind the flower image and the sentiment. The sentiment is from a new stamp set-"Fresh Cuts" I could not quite manage the spots/pattern on the base card-I did try but I'm a "Clean and Simple" kind of stamper and it just looked too fussy for my liking! Oh ! and the ribbon is pretty in pink too...

Hi Robyn, I know what you mean about the card looking better in real life. I had trouble trying to take a photo of my card too and it doesn't give it justice at all. I wonder why these colours are hard to photograph. I felt the same about the spotty background too, but thankfully Berry Bliss has some subtle papers that suited. Your card looks lovely, oh so lovely. That's a great stamp set isn't it.
