Rather than taking the time to show all the cards individually tonight, I will show each photo of the individual card project here on my blog tomorrow night - as well as at the release party!  I know you're in a hurry to see all the projects from the other designers like I am!  But, here's a few closer views of a couple of the cards from the kit....

*note: I stamped the flowers in Vivid ink and then took my Niji Waterbrush and went over the image a bit to 'smear' the ink and add some subtle shading.  The ribbon is adhered by attaching a strip of 1/2" scor-tape to the entire 5 1/2" card front and then tucking the ribbon over the tape to cover the adhesive.

*note: This ribbon ruffle was added to the focal image by adding a 1/4" strip of Scor-tape to the back of the paper and then tucking the ribbon to the tape being sure to only adhere one side of the ribbon so that it can 'ruffle' up a bit.

I'll share the other cards tomorrow night - so, check back with me then please!

*** You are Not Alone***

Each month Gina has a stamp set that is called our 'free with three' set.  That means if you purchase 3 stamp sets in one order, you will automatically receive the free with three stamp set as a thank you for your order!  How great is that!?  This month's set You are Not Alone is particularly beautiful and works very well with the Lean on Me stamp set!
