Hello to all my Irish Friends!

Hi Everyone,

I am getting back into the swing of things....
Today I have a really green card - in honor of St. Patrick's Day!



I used this cool iStencil to make this card.

27-00107 R SC

I sponged it first, then added clear embossing paste and let it dry. Then I added some more color to the edges, making the clear embossed pattern stand out more. Added the "hello" die cut - its from Mama Elephant. The clover is a Marta Stewart punch.


Linking up with:

Stamping Royalty - going green
Cut it up - St. Patty's Day
Sparkle and Shine - see inspiration photo
Inkspirational - geometric
Stamping Smiles Designs - Tic Tac Toe - green, gold, photo

I love Stampin' Royalty Challenges

Happy Stenciling!

WOW, this is a really neat card. Love the stencil as well as the colors you used.
Is the card 3D, or does it just look 3D? Either way, it's cool!

Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our St. Patty's Day challenge!

I think I saw you use that stencil before, Cornelia. I was amazed then and amazed now. It is so cool looking and adding the translucent paste and darker edges really does make the center pop.
Sensationelle Karte, so farbintensiv und schön!

Katzelkraft - Stampotique Raven

Hi Everyone, Do you know that   Katzelkraft has aquired Stampotique stamps? This fun raven is designed by Daniel Torrente (#6314). I used an old background from my stashs.  I stamped the bird and colored it with alcohol ink markers.  I brushed distrss ink onto the background and added some pattern with the   Mandala Magic stencil  from Funky Fossil Designs.I used one of the border stamps on the left for more interest.  Stamped the sentiment  and doodled a frame around the sentiment.Added a googly eye to the bird and drew in some eye lashes.  The stamps I used are from the following sets: Spiral Borders - KTZ286,  Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276  (FRANCE) Spiral Borders  - KTZ286 , Whatchamacallit  - KTZ276 (USA) Hope you liked this - I'll be back next Wednesday with more Katzelkraft inspiration.  Thanks for visiting! Happy Stamping! Linking up with: Simon Says Wednesday challenge  - fur or feathers

Combined So Suzy and The Ton Blog Hop

Hi Everyone, I am sooooo excited to be part of this amazing event - a combined hop between So Suzy Stamps and The Ton! I have been eyeing The Ton stamps and dies for quite a while - they are just gorgeous! And So Suzy - well you have seen their stamps on my blog - they are simply fabulous! I also love that they are made from rubber - its different stamping with them. Its much better for generational stamping and they don't stick to your paper when you use your Misti. You may have arrived from the fabulous  Eunji - its a hard act to follow her.... I got those gorgeous  Peonies Dies  from The Ton and die cut them with water color paper. Spritzed Dylusion inks on a sheet of plastic and dipped the dies into the colors. Mounted them onto black card stock. Added the So Suzy Birthday sentiment - heat embossed in white. Lastly I added a strip of envelope liner paper at the bottom. Here are my supplies: So Suzy Birthday sentiment ,  Peo...
