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!

Tres chic lady (that's Canadian BTW LOL!) and I love how you used the nestie shape. Lovely splash with the green ribbon too. Great card!

Boy have I missed a lot while I was away!!! Wow! Not much more I can say that hasn't been said except that I'll be out by the mailbox!!!!!!! What a fabulous, glamorous, gorgeous card! Love the bling and the ribbon and that awesome wonky nestie but that image is so beautifully done! I had a quick glance at the Teapot Challenge and hope that tomorrow affords me some time to play although I know I won't come up with anything this fancy! Heck, my last card was a purple cow. Nuff said. Hugz!

Hey, Audzie!! Somehow I missed this before. What a cool and classy card! I've been seeing a lot of those "wonky squares" recently. Love how they look! You used yours perfectly. What a great BDay celebration card for Izzy!! Nicely done.
