Had today off AND hubby was at work - so I was able to spend it stamping - YIPPEE!!!
I hadn't inked up this image yet, and before doing so went for a visit in Anne Ryan's beautiful gallery because I remebered seeing her do absolutely amazing things with this image. So this card was inspired by several lovely Greta cards I saw in Anne's gallery - Thanks Anne!!
This card is for the birthday of one of my new PUNCHKATEER PALZ (March 17th). I didn't have any good St. Patty's day stuff, but did add enough green to Greta's beautiful suite to cover it (I think)!!
This new wonky square Nestie seemed to be made especially for Greta, but has one corner cut off in order to fit onto the 4.5" x 6" card. Greta is colored with markers. The bling is actually irridescent green gemstones - they sparkle in greens, blues and purples and they are specatular IRL!!
Also entered this card in the Tuesday Teapot Challenge - it's the First Annual Teapot Tuesday A-Card-&-Me Awards - How FUN is that??!!!!
March seems to be a popular birthday month for the Punchkateerz - I think I joined this fun little group just in time LOL!!
Thanks everyone for looking!

Oh wow! That Punchkateer is going to be thrilled to get this lovely card. I love how you covered a zillion basez with zee card! You cased and complimented Anne Ryan - that is a good thing for a Punchkateer to do since we stay in trouble with her, you added a die cutz, you attended the teaparty in style, and you got a Punchkateer birthday covered. I am super impressed!
PS - I love the greens - it is my fav color!

GASP!! Audrey dah-ling, this is divinely GORGEOUS! Your coloring of Diva Greta is mah-velous!! Just mah-velous!!
Now, you may not know me well, dah-ling, but da Mudder has asked me to inspect all jewelry at today's A-Card-A-Me Awards for authenticity purposes. Would you be terribly offended if I were to inspect all the baubles you've brought today? Thank you, dah-ling. I knew you'd understand.
Well, I must be off for now, my dah-ling. Cheeky air kisses! Ta-ta!!
