Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone! Sorry no green beer here but I'll be having Crockpot o'Corned Beef later if you'd like to join me! :o)
Today is the Waltzingmouse St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop and Im super excited to be able to join. I actually made this card for my friend's mother-in-law, Rita who's visiting Hawaii allllllllll the way from Connecticut. She's always bringing little gifts for me and the kids so I wanted to make her something extra special.
So here's my card inked up and distressed everywhere! Ever since I discovered Ranger Distress Inks everything gets a shabby/vintage look. Can't help it, Im in love with Tim Holtz. Nah, just kidding, I think Im going through a phase right now and nothing is safe from getting sponged with Tea Dye ink! The sentiment is from a download made available here. That gorgeous elegant scrolly circle is from WMS Vintage Circle stamp set. Isn't it fabulous? I don't have anything like it and when I saw the samples I just knew I needed my very own!
Thank you Claire for making your digital images available and for making such fabulous stamp sets! I think Im in love with you too, lol!! ;o>
