Stamp Off Bubble Over on Green

Welcome back to our Stamp Off Challenge, hosted by
 Susan, Buffy and I, every other Friday.

St Patrick's day is just around the corner, so that's 
the challenge theme.  We left it kind of 
open, so that Green will also get the job done.

I went with something that happens locally.  There is an Irish Pub about a mile from my house, so the green beer will be flowing!

Since the holiday theme is drinking, Bubble Over with
the coordinating Bottles & Bubbles Framelits Dies
(Occasions p 32) bundle was my first choice.  I liked the
idea of the Color Theory DSP (annual p 187) as a background
with a bit of silver foil paper to ground the bottle.  The
Old Olive and Elegant Eggplant work together to produce
a masculine feel to this drinking theme.

I'm glad that you stopped by and know that you will
enjoy seeing the cards offered by Buffy and Susan.
Also, please remember to set your clocks forward
this weekend (well except for AZ)!

Waterfront in Black and White

I've seen lots of wonderful black and white Waterfront
projects (Occasions 48) cards, so decided to give it a try.
This project was stamped on glossy cardstock, making
it pretty quick and simple.

I enjoy this set because it enables so many different
looks and techniques.  But it also allows you to create
with great ease!

Butterfly on Springtime Foils Specialty DSP

The second round of SAB offerings are out.
I really love the Springtime Foils Specialty DSP
(SAB2 p 3) paper, because you can use it as is,
or color it with your favorite coloring technique.
For this card, I left it "plain", and added a butterfly from
the Butterfly Thinlits (annual p 215) that had been embossed
with a bit of copper embossing powder.
The sentiment comes from the You've Got This set
on page 101 in the annual catalog.
