 Good Morning!

for the current Challenge over at the Color Hues.  

Colors for this Challenge are Green and Gold.

I'll also be entering this card at the

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge,

Here is what I created:

I used many 'foliage' stamps to create my background 

in many shades of green ink.

Gina K Designs; Love At All Times and Always Delightful stamp sets.

Altenew Fine Frames Cover Plate.

Pinkfresh Studio Kelly Alpha Lowercase dies.

Lawn Fawn My Lucky Charm stamp and die sets.

I also hand cut the center rectangle and popped it up on foam,

to create more interest, then covered it with a piece of Vellum.

Inks in;

Mowed Lawn, Pear Pizzazz, Peeled Paint, Old Olive and Wild Wasabi

Copic markers for shading on the die cut letters.

This sparkles and shines and has a bit of

Lucky Shamrock

Just an itty bitty post with an itty bitty card.

CAS is not always Clean and Simple And Easy.  I find these to be the most difficult cards to make.  I miss my layers, but I keep on trying.  I used the oval stamp from the new Stamp TV Kit, Shabby Spring from Gina K Designs.  The shamrock is from a $1 stamp, which I fussy cut out and covered in some luscious Martha Stewart glitter.  A gingham green ribbon and some adhesive rhinestones are my accents.  I also used the Swiss Dots embossing folder to add some texture.  Ta Da!  lol

This card will be entered into these Challenges:

CASual Fridays to use Ovals.

CASology #88 Lucky.

Thanks so much for stopping by, it's good to be back in the atmosphere and not running the roads!

Enjoy~~

St. Paddy's Day!

Today's card was for yesterday's Holiday and the Challenge over at Simon Says Monday Challenge, Lucky! 

 

Nothing luckier than a shamrock right?   I used a couple of $1 stamps to create this. So perhaps our Hubby's are right, you DON'T have to spend a lot of money to craft!  hahaha  Maybe we should just keep that little fact here....no need to tell them!

 

Stamped the background with a Shamrock stamp, then added some little dots here and there with a Sakura Glitter Pen.  Fiskars Border Punch and some Shamrock ribbon from my stash.  I cut a 2 layer Shamrock out with my Cameo, topped with glitter and an adhesive rhinestone.

 

Hope your St. Paddy's Day was a lucky one for you!

 

On Sunday I cooked a corned beef, not my favorite meal, but I bake it now rather than boil it (ew!) much tastier!   I used this recipe:  For The Love Of Cooking! It is delicious this way, try it!
