Lucky "87"

Today is my Father's 87th Birthday!  I think I am 'Lucky' to have him around- so this is my interpretation of the "lucky" challenge this week : )

 I wanted to use a Green shade, as my Dad is 100% Irish. I cherish each visit I have with him (and my Mother) these days : )

Products I used from the SweetStamps.com Store:

Monogram Circle Alphabet Clear Stamp Set	Lace Circle SweetCuts Die	Core'dinations Out to Sea	Core'dinations Teal Blues	Aegean Ink Spot	Montego Bay Ink Spot
Family Clear Stamp Set AF4402	Wink of Stella Brush Marker	Flourishes Clear Stamp Set	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	Teal Pearls

InLinkz.com
Plus- the Braided Borders Piccolo is HERE,  I dabbed Montego Bay Ink Spot on my craft mat, and added in Gesso. I painted that on the Border, then sponged on a bit of ink over the dried color before adding WInk of Stella for shimmer, then teal pearls.

We hope you will join us in the challenge this week.

 AND, please join us Friday for a Blog Hop  featuring the Sweet Stamps New Release Products!

Silver And/Or Gold with Shelly

I decided to make a very CAS silver card for the challenge this week:

  I started with a very shimmery cardstock in Silver and Ivory from Marco's paper called Stardream Cover.  I swiped over it with the anti-static pouch, then embossed using Fantasy Silver Embossing Powder- it is very sparkly IRL!  I stamped the sentiment and measured how much space I had remaining from the top and bottom of the card. I masked off below those areas, then embossed the flourishes. 
  I hope you will consider joining us this week for the Gold and/or Silver challenge!
