Hi there!

Interesting the snippets of information

that can be gleaned from a calendar when

we take the time to read it!  I generally 

just look to see if I have any commitments

that day - breathe a sigh of relief if not or

get my headless chicken head on otherwise!

However, today for some reason the small

print caught my eye and I see that it is

specifically St Patrick's Day in Northern Ireland

according to my calendar.  Wonder if it is also

St Patrick's Day day elsewhere in the world?

I know St Patrick's day is a big event in 

other countries too....... 

Today we have Helen Chilton with one of

the new Lynne Perella stamp sets and the

main image on this set is ......... read on.....

"Stamp the image onto glossy cardstock with StazOn ink.

Colour in with the Spectrum KaleidaColor inkpad

Colour the fine details with a coton bud. 

Here I've used the yellow from the Bouquet inkpad.

Add highlights with a white pen 

Stamp the column block 3 times in black and 

colour/highlight as before

Run the Bouquet inkpad directly along 

the edge of some glossy cardstock. 

Turn the card and repeat along shorter edge, 

turn card again and repeat etc.

Quickly blend inks with paper towel 

Using the border stamp, stamp all over 

background with Bouquet inkpad

 ink up border in black and stamp part of it 

round edge of background"

Thank you Helen for a

lovely project and a super 

background technique

No, definitely not St Patrick,

he's obviously Prince Charming..............isn't he?

Or could he be St Valentine?......

'Till tomorrow
