Let's Celebrate! PPA 292

March 17, 2016

 Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you!  Irish or Not, it is always fun to celebrate!

 I finally had a chance to play along with a challenge today!  My card is for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge.  I just loved Beth's sketch this week and it was perfect for a card I wanted to make for a very dear friend that is turning 70 this week.  We are flying to Chicago tomorrow for her surprise party!  It will be so much fun!  Can't wait to see the look on her face!  



My card is created using a Melon Mambo base.  The next layer is Whisper White.  The pink and gold foil is from my stash.  I used gold foil for my strip across the center and a white and gold banner was cut using an My Favorite Things --FIshtail Flags die.  The large peony is from The Ton Stamps stamps.  I stamped it on watercolor paper with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I watercolored the peony with Peerless watercolors.  I stamped the leaves on watercolor paper, heat embossed them in gold powder and colored them with Zig markers.  The sentiment is from SSS-Birthday Bits stamp set.  It is stamped in Versa Mark and heat embossed in gold, too.  I added some Wink of Stella on the peony for extra shine!  

SO happy you stopped by my blog today!  I hope you will leave a comment and let me know your thoughts!  I love to hear from you!

 May the Luck of the Irish Be With You!
XX,
Claire

My base card is Crumb Cake.  I embossed the sentiment using Versa Mark ink and white embossing powder.  I trimmed the brick embossed layer on both sides of the sentiment and added diminsionals behind it.  The sentiment and flower are both from The Ton--Large Peony 2 stamp set.  I stamped the peony on watercolor paper with Versa Mark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I colored the flower and leaves with  Zig Clean Color Markers and added some water with a brush to lighten some areas.  Wink of Stella was added on the flower for sparkle & shine and a few clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for fun.
