Melanie Muenchinger is now designing stamps for Gina K. !!!  Melanie is a Splitcoast Member and one of our original Dirty Dozen girls. I am so excited to see  many of our fellow SCS girls having so much success with their stamping.

When she asked me to play with her new stamp set, I was thrilled to do so.

Here is a card made with Melanie’s stamp set “Just so Hippy” and with this weekend’s sketch challenge. Check out all of Gina K.’s new released stamps!

The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Soft Sky Cardstock folded in half. On the lower half of the card front I added a 1 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ strip of Darling Doodles Designer Paper and I tied white Taffeta Ribbon around it.

I stamped the hippo on Soft Sky Prints Designer Paper with Black Palette ink.

I cut it out and added highlights with my white gel pen.

The grass is a 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ piece of Certainly Celery Prints Designer Paper. I added small cut like MaryJo does so well.

The center squares are a 2 3/4″ square of textured Groovy Guava cardstock, a 3″ square of Basic Black and a 3 1/4″ Purely Pomegranate cardstock.

The Groovy Guava and the Basic Black squares have their top corners punched with the ticket corner punch. I taped all layers together and paper pierced a border on all sides of the Groovy Guava cardstock except for the bottom one. I taped the grass strip down there and added two white brads on the top corners (Stampin’ Up! really needs some of those. Until they do, contact Cindy at Starlitstudio to get you some!)

The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped in Black Palette ink on a 1 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock circle that was layered on a 1 3/8″ Certainly Celery circle and a Basic Black Scallop circle.
