CSS Alumni Hop!!


Hi everyone!!  Welcome to the first January CSS blog hop!!  You should have arrived from the awesome Miesje's blog, if not, head over to Stamp TV to start from the beginning!!  For this challenge Geri has given us a great color combo!!  She wanted us to use pink, red and one neutral and I chose brown.  I used my Vogue Vases 2 set, coloring the flowers in pink and the buds in red.  I love coloring this vase and adding glossy accents, it is so pretty!
Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products!  Look for the announcement on Tuesday February 12th!  
Next stop on the hop is the awesome Linda!!

Supplies:
Stamps:  GKD Vogue Vases 2
Paper:  GKD Pure Luxury Ivory, Dark Chocolate
