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!

Die cut challenge with Irit

 Hello my dear friends and welcome to Sweet Stamps die cuts week challenge!
Today we challenge you to use dies and if you have our SweetCuts USE THEM- but you sure can use any other dies too.
My card for this week was made with a few of SS dies: the background was made with  two dies cut  a several times and then glued to the kraft base to make this kind of faux dry embossed look.
Then I made another  die cuts  from copper cardstock and glued them over the basic background. I added die cut and enamelled Cameo die over the main Lace shape and then added a stamped with  one of the new sets sentiment. A few pearls finished this card. A lot of die cutting  was involved in this card, but the result is gorgeous!

And now it's your turn! Play with us and you can win some great new goodies!
