This is for the Featured Stamper Challenge to honor Rebbecaof - Lyn. Her gallery is packed full of inspiration and wonderful cards. This one caught my eye:
I liked Lyn's lovely wreath and how she used the sentiment to create a background, highlighting one with a different color. I changed the occasion as I needed a St. Patrick's Day card. I only have one shamrock stamp. It's a solid image, so to give it more interest, I used the kissing technique. I laid the plaid stamp rubber side up on my desk, inked it up with Garden Green, and inked the shamrock with Celery ink, stamped off once. Then pressed the shamrock onto the plaid stamp to pick up the GG ink in the pattern, huffed on it to remoisten the ink and made the impression. I stamped and clear embossed a variety of words randomly as the background. One of the words is gold embossed to highlight it and cut into a banner & layered with a scrap DSP banner. The panel is layered on gold cs. The circles are raised up. This is going to an Irish Catholic friend who spent a long time in the hospital. He said his faith was a blessing and helped him to have hope through the whole ordeal, thus the choice of words. The St. Patrick's Day stamp in the picture is for the inside. Thanks Lyn for sharing your awesome cards with us and inspiring our own cards. Thanks for looking.
