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!

Wow, Audrey this is stunning! Love your color choices and the "lady with attitude". A perfect card for the MMTPT challenge. Your shading around your beautifully colored image is fabulous.

She looks absolutely beautiful bedecked in green! Your ribbon treatment is fantastic and I love the shape of the nestie even with the corner off. It really draws your eye to the image. Wonderfully done and welcome to the tea party!
