Comment by Barbara Newton on February 9, 2011 at 12:53pm: Gina, I noticed you used the nestabilities Petite Ovals and Petite Scalloped Ovals which did you use the small or large. I went to see them and listed are Petite small and large. Which did you use in this card? Thanks. Keep the beautiful cards coming, enjoy them so very much.

Comment by Natalie Zylstra on January 28, 2011 at 8:48am: Gina- it always amazes me what the card appears to be, or to look like before I see you do it, and then I always wonder, how'd she do that? Super cool background technique! TFS!

I was wondering, do the Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers dies work in the cuttlebug?? (i.e. the tag die, ornamental and baroque dies, tattered florals, etc.)

Comment by Mary Kay Lombardo on January 27, 2011 at 8:08am: I just loved just video. Watched it 3 times. The card is just Lovely.

Thank you Gina. Keep them coming.

Comment by patricia posk on January 27, 2011 at 1:51am: Another great one Gina.

Loved the effect that pencil gave to the background and how the design that you stamped over it really enhanced the whole card background.

Thank you for another great tip.
