Hello everyone!

I am so excited to be here sharing a couple of cards I created using the NEWLY released Gina K. Designs and Thermoweb Tropical Sunshine Kit. This kit is gorgeous and has so many pieces to it that you can create lots of projects.

Here are the two cards I created with the kit.


My card is an A2 card, I used Master Layouts 1 to cut the two layers, and used the top layers with Master Layouts 1 also.  I used the fancy foil toner sheets with the green grass fancy foil to die cut the palms of the  trees and the wild dandelion fancy foil to cut the trunks of the trees.  I used the the twinkling Pink to cut the word "sunshine".  I stamped the words using GKD Embossing and Watermark ink along with the fine detail white embossing powder.  I die cut the words using the sentiment strips.


My second card, I used the Master Layouts 1 to die cut the layers.  I used the stencil in the kit to create the sunset using GKD inks (coral reef, passionate pink and sweet corn).  

I hope I have inspired you to want this kit, it really is fun!
