Tonight the GKD designers & CSS have samples to share with you using the new Lovely Shelf set illustrated by Nina Brackett.
I used some of Nina’s Bug me Anytime digital papers because I thought they went real lovely with the new set! I used chocolate kiss cardstock as well. The Nestabilities I used for the focal image are Labels 4 and I colored with prismacolor pencils, blended with odorless mineral spirits.
For my next card I used the lovely orchid image and placed it on the shelf image in the set with a handkerchief underneath it. The digital papers I used on this card are by Emily, Softly Spring. I used copic markers to color this image and used my Sakura glitter pen for sparkly accents.

The softness of your cards Donna is soooo wonderful and this stamp set lends itself so well to your style! I love what you did with these stamps.....so much inspiration!

Beautiful cards Donna!
Very lovely cards!
Donna, your cards are just beautiful and love the soft colors.
Love the 'negative' effect you added to the top beauty! And the pink orchid card is wonderful ... it has a 'gentle' feeling about it!

These are GORGEOUS, Donna! Love how you cut the sentiment out of hte box on the first one, and the orchid image on the second one really pops against the white embossing. Very pretty!

Wow! These are both so beautiful! Each so stunning in its own way! The contrast of the first is so striking, and the softness of the embossing and the muted colors make the second a feminine favorite!
