Welcome to the Featured Stamper neighborhood, that is! A huge CONGRAtS to my friend and fellow ISC design team member, Joanne. Or jojot as she's known around here. I've been a fan of yours since about the first day I joined SCS. A Christmas card you did was one of, if not the first, card I favorited here.
For my case, I chose Live, Laugh, Love . I kept the basic layout, but omitted a panel, kept the same colors but rearranged them, changed the images, the theme and subbed clip art for dp.
The lg Victorian house (unknwn- it's wood mounted,but totally unmarked), was stamped w/ coal ink on white c/s. I cut a white frame and used a Spellbinders nestie oval to cut out the center. I trimmed around part of the house, put the frame on top but inserted the cut out parts on top of the frame. The greeting Gina K. Designs is stamped on the lower edge w/ cardinal ink.
For my bg panels, I pasted some clip art houses into an arrangement I liked, printed them out on white and divided them. Used a black marker on the edges and attached them to slightly larger white panels. I didn't have any big red brads, so I used the Brilliance ink on them and heat set.
ETA: the brads started out white. I usually buy white so I can turn them other colors.
The red bg was printed w/ a slightly larger version of the clip art houses, edged w/ black and attached to a white card. The card measures 5 x 6.5.
Thanks so much for looking! My blog:The Write Stuff. Sorry! I had to delete a bunch of really old posts from my blog & this is one of them
