Rainbow Lady's Challenge - St Patrick's Day

Good morning to you all

Today we are celebrating not only St Patrick's Day but your host - Cynthia's Birthday.

Happy Birthday Cynthia, I hope you are having a special day

Of course the chosen theme over at Rainbow Lady this week is

ST PATRICK'S DAY

Here is my DT Card

I must confess that St Patrick's Day is not something I usually take part in, however as a DT I turned to Vintage Holiday Crafts for inspiration.

This is a fab site with lots of Free Downloads, you will find something to suit every occasion.

This lovely Irish Lady with a basket full of Shamrocks is just one of the many images available.

My card base is 5 x 5 Square to which I added a lovely backing paper of shamrocks, again Free from the above link.

I had a small piece of embossed photo card already inked with Meadow & Hazelnut Alcohol Inks which I thought would complement the image.

I used my Nestability Labels 1 to cut out the sentiment and carefully cut out a Shamrock for the top of my card.

I am not normally a 'Green' person but I am quite pleased with how it all came together.

We hope you will celebrate with us again this week and look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comments.

As usual there will be a prize for one lucky participant, so pop over to see what you could win this week. It is a fabulous prize, I just wish I could enter.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - TREES

PHEW!! Talk about last minute!!

Here is my card for Cynthia

Cynthia's challenge this week was 'TREES'
My stamp is from Clarity which I have titled 'LAZY DAYS'
It was stamped using Peeled Paint Distress Ink onto a shape from Nestabilities Labels, (not sure which one), layered onto a larger shape and in turn layered onto my card which had previously been stained using Alcohol Inks before running through my Cuttlebug with the Victorian Embossing Folder.

Note to myself: don't leave it as late next week

Digi Stamp Retreat for CR Members

Here is the card I made for Creating Rainbows Digi Retreat. The digi image is from Ann

Ann very kindly offered all forum members a choice of 'General' or 'Christmas' for their choice of a Digi Image & Backing Papers.
I got to use Ann's lovely Jean's image, I first printed the backing paper onto Glossy Card then put it back into my printer to print the Jean's image.

The only rule was that the image had to be used and we could add whatever we liked to take part. It is such fun and so nice to see what other members have made.
