I got some new unmounted stamps the other day. I like the Whipper Snapper stamps as they have some cute animal stamps. I had originally wanted to use another image I got but when I went to stamp it I realized I did not have an acrylic block big enough for it. I will be looking for one of those as the stamp is a cute Easter one. I decided to use this image instead.…
I had another idea with the rose from Fifth Avenue Floral. I thought it would be interesting to see what it would look like if I embossed it in gold and did the layer like I did on my other one.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Good Morning! I hope everyone has their green on today. And how about dinner, are you having ham and cabbage?

I like using my stamps to create a background that looking like patterned paper. It is a great way to add color without adding layers. That is what I did on this card. I also used colors I hadn’t used in quite some time – Perfect Plum and Pale Plum – and I really like the finished product. While checking out my blogs last night, I ran across a challenge that my card fit into.…
