Gina K Designs Inspiration Day 3!

It's the final day for GKD's inspiration hops for this release, and today we are sharing projects made with two new duos, Master Butterfly, and Just Calling to Say, and with one full set, Inspirational Blocks.

I love the dramatic contrast of black and white...it seemed just perfect for a tent card with this retro phone!  My grandma had a phone sorta like this!  So funny how one little image can bring back SO many memories!

Notes:
Just Calling to Say...
Gina K Pure Luxury onyx card stock
Vintage Chic paper pack
Memento ink
Spellbinders grommet tags
stitched grosgrain ribbon
black brads


Here's another simple layout using Basic Grey's Marjolaine, Inspirational Blocks and some Pear Tart Memento ink.  For some reason my camera doesn't like the sponged edges...they photo'd rather grainy, but this card is soft and serene IRL.

Notes:
Inspirational Blocks
Gina K Pure Luxury card stock
Basic Grey Marjolaine designer paper
Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Tart inks
Tim Holtz tea-dye distress ink
Spellbinders classic squares
satin ribbon
self-adhesive pearls

Here are the designers participating in today's hop:

    I really like the way you pulled the green out of the plaid DP and used it for your focal images. It makes such a lovely, serene card.

    Hi, Deb - what pretty cards! 1st one reminds me of modernism, and the 2nd one makes me feel sort of an old-world charm, probably due to the shading and colors. Love them!

    The Inspirational Blocks stamp is quickly becoming my favorite. It lends itself to lots of CAS cards. I will be going back and bookmarking lots of them on the hop to CASE. Thanks!

    Beautiful selection of colors on the leaf card (love the plaid dp), and like the way you used B/W papers to highlight the black phone. I remember those old phones, too. Not as complicated as today's phones! :)
