Hello, stamping friends! Happy March! Christy is our Paper Players hostess this week with a theme challenge I don't think we've ever had before:
I realized I do NOT have any "mythical creature" stamps, but I did have one leprechaun stamp from an older SU set called Gift Givers (2011), so I decided to get him inky. Later on, I thought about the fact that I have some gnome stamps, and they would probably be okay too, in case you share the same dilemma as I do! So here we go:
I inked up this little guy and did some coloring with Prismacolor pencils and gamsol....still practicing that technique! I diecut him with a Stylish Shapes die and added a scalloped mat of Lemon Lime Twist and mounted that all on a couple of panels diecut with the Everyday Arches dies. I stamped a few random little clovers from Itty Bitties (2013) and that all went on a piece of green madras plaid DSP from Memory Box:
My sentiment is from a REALLY old Purple Onion set (probably 2010 or so) and the diecut shamrocks are from Impression Obsession. On the inside, I added another strip of the same plaid paper, a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs and a few more stamped and diecut shamrocks!
And since I am using several older sets, I am entering this in the RetroRubber challenge, where they're looking for the Luck of the Irish:
I would say that my card concept is "clean and layered"!
I hope you'll be able to play along with us at the Players this week, it's such a fun challenge! We can't wait to see what you come up with! Thanks so much for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
