Hope is the thing.... Design Team

I have been selected to be on the Gingersnap Creations Design Team, so today begins a new 6 month adventure with this amazing group of talented artists. This is my first Design Team; I am as happy as a clam. It is an honor and thrill to be among this creative team.

Here is a folding shrine project for my new group and it is "Ginger" inspired. The background paper is ink kissed and trimed with copper german scrap. The bird cages from TPC Studio were stamped on a transparency with Archival ink. The large center birdcage is from a picture of a real birdcage, I printed on a transparency. The lovely vintage women image is hand colored with pencils. Add some rhinestones,copper with blue trim and the stamped "Hope" sentiment also from TPC Studio and it's complete. Hope you will join in the fun at Gingersnap Creations, there's lots to see and do and its always inspiring and fun.
Take care dear friends, gerri.
