Gina K CSS Christmas Card Hop

Welcome to our first Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop!

Jessica Fick, the Design Team Coordinator for GinaK Designs has issued a challenge to all of the past and present team CSS team members to make a Christmas card with one of these sketches:




Here's my card:

I used Nina's set: Elegant Post for the image
and Rupa's set: The Magic of Christmas for the sentiment.

The lantern is popped up and the 'glass' part is covered with a Clear Sakura Glaze pen.
Then entire image circle is sparkling with Bamboo Leaf Shimmerz Spritz.

And here is the inside:


We know you're going to LOVE what everyone has designed for us tonight!

Be sure to leave a comment on each because sweet Nina is going to draw a random name from the comments on one of the blogs to win Melanie's Hip To Be Square set!!
