  3. All of your cards are really stunning, but I wanted to mention specifically your 4th card where you used the floral silhouettes shadows in black over a stamp from the tiny textures stamp. WOW, that stamp you used underneath looks like you have created that background free-hand, but you have done it with a GKD stamp. Well-done!!! I tried to order the stamp kit and the master layouts 1 dies but both had sold out, and I really didn't think that I'd get another opportunity to get that kit, but yesterday when I was uploading some cards for Splitcoaststampers, I needed to check the exact name of the GKD green cardstock I was using, and whenever I go into the GKD site, I always check to see if that kit especially was in stock, and I was so startled to see it was there!!! I ordered the kit and the master layouts dies yesterday. I really wanted to order the rainbow and black and white clay hearts but they are still out of stock, and I was afraid to wait for them, so I will get them another time. Last time when I tried to order the kit, it had just sold out and I wasn't going to have that happen again!

    I really love your elegant black and white card, and the opportunity to see those Master Layouts 1 in action!!! SO beautiful!!! I am a big GKD fan, and I especially love her cardstock, but being in Canada, I cannot order it and have it sent to me here, but before the pandemic, I would order her cardstock when it was on sale, and have that order sent to a US address, then go and pick it up, as I only live about an hour from the US border at Niagra Falls. But now, I won't be able to order for a long time to get cardstock which makes me sad... I have learned A LOT from Gina K Designs, I started watching Stamp TV and learned so much of the basics on her videos, and I personally think that she's one of the very best stamping/card-making teachers in the business, and certainly one of the very kindest, as she has created stamp sets for some great charities. I think that Gina K is a great role model for sure. I'm very excited that I will have Nature's Touch plus Master Layouts I and a package of her envelopes in Wisteria coming to me soon. The clay hearts will have to wait!!! WONDERING if those white clay hearts can be colored with copics to make them exactly match the rest of your card...

    It was your first card that drew me in, of the layered florals that I saw on SCS in the GKD category, and I'm so glad that I came here to take a closer look at all 5 of your cards. I was searching and searching to be able to list a comment, then realized that all 5 cards were in one upload on your blog.

    I look forward to seeing lots more of your cards, and I plan to go onto SCS and leave comments there on these cards for you too, and I will be looking out for your cards in the future on SCS to see... You are a talented card-making artist!!!

    Blessings, hoping and praying that you and your family will stay healthy at this difficult time,

    Joanne
