A Couple of Challenge Cards

I have a couple more cards to share with you today .... both cards use the new Gina K stamps which were released yesterday.

My first card uses the "King of the Grill" stamp set ... this is a great set for the men in your life. I decided to use it for the sketch challenge that my friend Cammie is hosting for the Gina K release party.

I used the BBQ, tools & one of the sentiments from this set to create my card. The BBQ is layered using my circle nestabilities. The top portion of this card has been embossed using my distress stripes cuttlebug embossing folder ... after embossing it I sponged over some weathered wood distress ink to highlight the raised areas. The screw brads also help give this card a masculine feel ... these are also available through Gina K. Finally the BBQ tools are stamped and cut out and attach to the top right side of my card.

The featured stamper this week on SCS is sparklegirl ... I looked through her gallery on Sunday but as I didn't have time right then to create a card I bookmarked one I thought I would try to CASE when I had some more time..... you can find her card here.

As per the rules of the featured stamper challenge I had to change at least two things on my card. Here are the changes I made:

• Changed the stamps used
  
• Changed the colors
• Used a different ribbon
• Used different brads

The set used here is the new 'Comfort & Peace' set .... this set is great to create sympathy cards or for those occasions when we don't have the right words for a card ... you do now!
