Loving Branches

I am REALLY liking Melanie Muenchinger's newest set, "Branching Out".  I know this one will be used over and over again on many future cards!

I think this card turned out even better than I had originally thought.  The line of black embossed branches going down the middle of the card is stamped on Pure Luxury Ivory and when I finished and looked at it completed I thought it looked soooo much like a printed ribbon strip!! LOVE it!!!

I began with a card base of Passionate Pink and  I added a layer of Black Onyx and a piece of Ivory.  Next I layered on some of the new yummy Echo Park, "Be Mine", DP.  And, of course, that strip of Ivory with the branches heat embossed on it.  I also added branches in two corners and heat embossed them as well.

My main image is stamped on Ivory in Versamark and heat embossed as well.  I added my sentiment in Vivid, Raspberry and also stamped one of the birds from the set in the same color and cut it out and mounted at the bottom of my Oval Nestabilitie. 

I hope you enjoyed the last few Gina K Designs Design Team Blog Hops.  The fun doesn't have to end there... come back and I promise to keep em coming!! :-)

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!! *smile*
