Melanie's Blog Hop Celebration

Today I am showing you a card I made to celebrate Melanie Muenchinger's  2 years of illustrating and 25 stamp sets!!!  In case you didn't already know Melanie illustrates for Gina K Designs and her stamps are wonderfully drawn.  I have many of her sets though not all 25 yet, LOL.

So when I was trying to decide which one of Melanie's set to use I couldn't decide between my first set and my favorite set, so I did both, LOL.  My first card is from A Year Of Flowers, my all time favorite set by Melanie.  I love coloring the beautiful flowers.  Today I colored with copics and then cut out the rose and leaves before layering on an oval cut whit nestabilities and sponged lightly with pink.

For my next card I used my very first set by Melanie. Just So Hippy.  I love the cute animals in this set, and they are very versatile.  I again colored with copics and cut out the giraffe, then layered on a sponged panel.

Melanie has ask her past Guest Designers to make cards using the sets they worked with.  So head over to Melanie's blog and follow the links to see some fantastic cards made by them you will not be disappointed.  Oh and while you are there make sure to enter for some great blog candy.
