Inspiration Hop Day 3


Hi everyone!!!  Today we are showing the new Free with 3 set!!  I've always loved the Free sets and this one is no exception, fun fun fun!!  I truly had a hard time deciding which image and sentiment but went with this one because I love birds and thought this sentiment went so perfectly with it!!  I knew I wanted to incorporate Key Lime, I really like this color and I think it goes so well with the kraft.  I wanted to do something different with that layer but made an accidental discovery that I really like!!  I was running the layer through my crimper (haven't used that thing in ages!!) several times and then for whatever reason decided to turn it and this is how it came out, I think it is a great texture layer, I love the look!!  The colors look kind of funny in the picture but coordinate much better irl!

You'll want to hop and see all the fabulous Inspiration the Design Team has in store!!  And don't forget to leave comments along the way!!  2 commenters will be chosen randomly to win a Grab Bag of fabulous Gina K. stamps!!
