Welcome to another Stamp TV CSS hop. If you arrived here from Joy's lovely blog, you are on the right track. If you need to start at the beginning of the hop, go to Stamp TV to see the full list of participants and start at the top of the hop.

This time we are doing an inspiration hop based on the fabulous photo below selected for us by Brenda.


Don't you love the colors, patterns and textures in this photo? I did, and I used them as my inspiration! Here is the card I made for today's hop.


Card elements:
Card base: Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Cranberry Tart
Cardstock: Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Ivory
Patterned Paper: From my stash!
Stamps: Gina K Designs Lovely Shelf
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Distress Ink Walnut Stain; Stampin' Up Cherry Cobbler and Blushing Bride
Miscellaneous: Pearls, Copic markers, Nestabilities Labels 22

Want more inspiration? Hop along to see the gorgeous creation Linda has waiting for you. Don't forget to leave a comment on each blog as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (May 15), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!

Thanks for hopping with us!
