Aurora Wings has a brand new challenge starting today! The theme is "Over the Rainbow". You can decide what that means to you, but make sure you explain it in your blog post if you decide to join in the challenge this month. I took it to mean to use the colours of the rainbow, and I thought <a href="http://bit.ly/2EbnayY" target="_blank">Unicorn Sprite</a> would be the perfect image for this. I coloured the mane and tail in rainbow colours, and used rainbow themed digital paper for my backdrop.<br />

Hello everyone! We are back with a new year and new challenges at Aurora Wings! To start the year off we have an <a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/2019/01/challenge-74-anything-goes.html?fbclid=IwAR1VKISpNLNLRdSjVaPasethS2PZ5miB0Yl8rXAkz3sj8CWumGaWKjpVzw8" target="_blank">Anything Goes Challenge</a>. I have a lot of January birthdays in my family and friends circle, so I coloured up Cupcake Sprite for a pretty in pink birthday card. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used Copics to colour my image, along with some silver glitter gel pen for the nonpareils on her frosting. I also used a paper doily, some cheesecloth, flowers and other embellies when I put it all together.<br />
<br />
Pop over to the challenge blog, if you haven't been already, and check out the work by my team mates. There are some beautiful creations over there for you to be inspired by.

It's time for the last challenge of 2018 at the Aurora Wings challenge blog. The holiday are upon us and the theme for this challenge is "Holiday Spirit". There are so many digis in the Aurora Wing catalog that you can use for this challenge, I don't know how you'll be able to pick one, so do two or three!! I used <a href="https://www.aurorawings.com/store/p63/Poinsettia-Sprite-PNG-Digital-Stamp-Aurora-Wings.html" target="_blank"><b>Poinsettia Sprite</b></a>:<br />

<br />
I used Copics to colour the image (reds R59, R29-24 & greens G29, G28, G17, G05, YG06). I layered a doily and some cheesecloth on Stampin' Up DP, and finished it off with some flowers and other embellies. My senitment stamp is from SU.<br />

Happy Monday! It's <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/?Click=176" target="_blank">Rubbernecker </a>Monday around here this week, so here is a card I made with the cute little owl stamp "Granger". I also used a few die sets to make my card. Links for every Rubbernecker product I used will be listed at the bottom of my post.</div>

I used the Nested Rounded corner rectangle dies to create the base for my card as well as the mats. The Nested Banner dies were used to create the base for the sentiment, which is from the Coffee Blanket clear stamp set. The "Granger" stamp is red rubber. I coloured the image with Copics.</div>

It's time for a <b><a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/10/challenge-72-once-upon-dreamor-nightmare.html">new challenge</a></b> at Aurora Wings! This challenge theme is Once Upon a Dream... or a Nightmare. I went with Dream. Halloween is not even on my radar this year, and I'm probably going to regret not being prepared. Also, it's been horribly cold and snowing since September 12, so my mind and body are in Winter mode. We totally skipped over Fall here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For my Dream project, I used the image "<a href="https://www.aurorawings.com/store/p563/Clara-PNG-Digital-Stamp-Aurora-Wings.html">Clara</a>", obviously inspired by the Alexandre Dumas version of The Nutcracker, and literally about a dream young Clara has on Christmas Eve about a battle between an army of gingerbread soldiers and mice, and the Nutcracker who leads the gingerbread army and transforms into a handsome prince. </div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I kept the card white and light, using a snowfall embossing folder on the card base, and a black on white mat for the image. I coloured the image with Copics, and used some ruffled lace, pink lace, and cheesecloth under the mat. I finished it off with <b><a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5100-06d.htm&Click=176" target="_blank">small star die cuts</a></b> made from silver glitter paper, along with some clear rhinestones. </div>

Monday is here again, and so am I with a Christmas card for Rubbernecker Stamps. I used SIX different stamps and dies on my card. I will list them all separately at the end of my post so they are easy to find.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsjihw2sCyu_xp_98KvoNgBwINq24wnQ7uPR-OPufDgAv6F0Qscp9jQq3O6oHqIeWFkTm5BfioFs78janF3XY7TG2ArR-TBQNt_WC7KrmqDYrF-7SboDbNIWU0btdgehok8YwOF-O7eTvh/s1600/Snowman+with+present.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsjihw2sCyu_xp_98KvoNgBwINq24wnQ7uPR-OPufDgAv6F0Qscp9jQq3O6oHqIeWFkTm5BfioFs78janF3XY7TG2ArR-TBQNt_WC7KrmqDYrF-7SboDbNIWU0btdgehok8YwOF-O7eTvh/s400/Snowman+with+present.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started with a snowfall embossing folder to set my background. I knew I wanted to keep it white, so I didn't add a mat to this. It has been snowing where I live since September 12, and it is snowing right now while I type this, so white is my world right now! It really is horrible having snow in September; it's too early!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/963-03.htm&click=176">Snowman with a Present stamp</a> AND <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/963-03d.htm&click=176">die</a>. I created a shadow for my snowman by cutting out another snowman in purple and slightly offsetting it. I used the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5101d.htm&click=176">Marquee nested die set</a> for my sentiment, <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/983-03.htm&click=176">Merry Christmas with Swirls</a>. I cut out some snowflakes with the two new small snowflake dies. I used a star stencil (not from Rubbernecker) to decorate the white paper for my sentiment so it would pop out a little bit on all that white.</div>

It is time for a new challenge at Aurora Wings, and our theme is "Inspired by Music". Your creation can have lyrics or not, and your music can be from anywhere: TV show, movie, classical, rock, you name it. As long as we can see the song's inspiration in your piece, it's good! The sentiment is not a lyric from my song, but I think it is in the spirit of the song. Can you guess what my inspirational song is? </div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My song inspiration was "Fly Like an Eagle" by Steve Miller Band. Maybe it's my odd sense of humour, but I thought this was funny. A kitten that would want to fly like an eagle, and he looks like he's enjoying himself while he's at it. It still makes me laugh. I was going through my AW images that I already had printed out ready to colour, and when I saw it the lyrics popped right into my head. So I just ran with it. You can find the image at the Aurora Wings store <a href="https://www.aurorawings.com/store/p250/Flying-Kitten-Digital-Stamp-Aurora-Wings">HERE</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I loaded up my Animals Colouring Class from Kit and Clowder for this because I really don't colour too many animals, and when I do, I don't do the detail fur and flicking I've done here. I pulled up the cat class and gave it a whirl, and I think it came out pretty good. I'll give myself a pat on the back for my first try. 😉 I used paper and sparklies from Kaisercraft, and a mix of jute ribbon, cheesecloth, and lace to layer under my image. The <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5100-12d.htm&click=176">small cloud stitch die is from Rubbernecker Stamps</a>. The tag is punch out from Stampin' Up. I inked up the edge of my tag and the image with some Tim Holtz Distressed Ink in Tea Dye. The sentiment stamp is from Finnabair's "Don't Forget to Fly" stamp collection.<br />
<br />
Make sure you check out my team mates other inspirational pieces for this challenge on the <a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/">CHALLENGE BLOG</a>. They are really amazing, and if a flying kitten doesn't inspire you maybe something else will. 😉 Scroll down and you can listen to my song and chill and imagine a cat trying to fly...</div>

School is back in session, and I'm back to crafting! Yay! It was a crazy busy summer, with being at the lake, going on vacation with my family, and just chasing after four kids for two months, and I'm hoping things will slow down a bit, but really... hockey, ringette, soccer, and football are all going on or getting ready to start so I don't know who I'm kidding!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've made a card with Rubbernecker Stamps and some dies today. I've got a long list of products that I used from them so I will list them all at the bottom of my post so it's easy for you to find them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started out making a shaped card base using the Nested Rounded Corner Rectangle dies, along with the mats:</div>

The final product after layering the mats, adding some cheesecloth, and adding all the stars I cut out of silver glitter paper. I also used the nested tag dies for my sentiment. Below you can find links to all the dies and stamps I used on my card (just click on the name of the product):</div>

Hey everyone! It is time for a new challenge, and the teams are going to switch things around so Stella Team will be bringing you inspiration for the first half of the challenges for the rest of the year. This challenge is a Sketch challenge. See below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For my DT inspiration, I used the new image "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/629904757/digital-stamp-instant-download-icicles?ref=shop_home_feat_3">Icicles and Crystals</a>" for my card:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I used Copics to colour the image (BV08-BV000 & B05-B0000), along with some glitter gel pens and Stickles in Gunsmoke and Frosted Lace. My chipboard "believe" is from Make It Crafty, as are the little stars. I inked them up with my Copics then used Versamark ink and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder to make them shine. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. </div>

All of my ink and paper is from Stampin' Up. I also used the Rubbernecker stamp <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/1101-04.htm&click=176">Dash Dot Frame</a> for the card border. It's a simple card, and I love these new balloon stamps with messages. There are also Happy Retirement and Congratulations ones.<br />
<br />
My summer has been super busy, and the kids have just a few more weeks off school so we're making the most of it with a big family trip right away. Then when we get back hockey and football will be in full swing. We have to make the most of our time off while we can! I hope you're having an awesome summer out there.<br />

My favourite challenge theme is live at the Aurora Wings challenge blog: Anything Goes!! I love the freedom of ATG challenges. I just follow wherever my creativity takes me. This is my take on Petals in the Wind. I had started colouring this image a long time ago, and only got as far as her butterfly ears, which I coloured with Prismacolor pencils. I picked up with Copics and finally finished her with a mix of purple, pink, blue, and yellow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The image takes up the majority of the card, which is a standard A2 size, so not too many embellies on this one, just a few flowers and pearls. The sentiment is from a Finnabair stamp set called "Don't Forget to Fly". Here are the direct links to the AW image in both the Etsy shop and the AW store:<br />

I used the Foxy set of designer paper from Stampin' Up for this card. It was perfect for what I wanted to do. I coloured the fox with Copics. I was camping when I made this, so I had to be pretty basic with my supplies. There is an <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/3105d.htm&click=176">awesome die set</a> that goes with these stamps, but I didn't bring my Big Shot with me, so I had to make do with my straight edge paper cutter. This stamp set comes with four different foxes and four sentiments, so my next card will be foxes again, but I'll use the dies so you can see how awesome they are.<br />
<br />
Challenges are on break for the summer, so we are just doing team posts for now. Thanks for visiting the blog and being a Rubbernecker fan. There is a Facebook group for all of you <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/RubberneckerStampsFans/">HERE</a>.</b><br />

<br />
My paper is from Stampin' Up, as are the star embellies. I fussy cut out Annabella and layered her on top of my die cut squares with pop up foam tape. When I saw her in the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/?Click=176">Rubbernecker store</a>, and the Flying Music stamp, I knew they were meant to go together.<br />
<br />
Our challenges are on hiatus for the summer, but the weekly team posts are still happening, so make sure you check in with us at the blog for card making inspiration. Below are the direct links to the products I've used on this card:<br />

I used a Cuttlebug mini hearts embossing folder for the front of the card. I used the Rubbernecker sentiment "Just A Word", along with their nested circle die set to create the rest of the card. I had some neutral colored sparklies that I glued on the cheesecloth, layered under the circles. </div>

It is the midway point of our <a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/07/mid-challenge-inspiration-post-for.html?m=1">Once Upon a Time challenge</a> at Aurora Wings. It is time for the Stella Team to bring you some inspiration for the second half of the challenge. Your creation should be inspired by a fairy tale, and mine is inspired by Snow White and the evil queen who doesn't want to give up her title of being the fairest in the land. I used the image "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/503747236/digital-stamp-instant-download-dark?ga_search_query=dark+princess&ref=shop_items_search_1">Dark Princess</a>" for my project. </div>

I coloured the image with Copics. For her headpiece, I used gunmetal and frost colored Stickles. It is actually very sparkly in person, but I had a hard time catching it with a camera. The angled picture below, hopefully, gives you a better idea of what I did. For the rest of my card I wanted to keep the dark feeling, so I used the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/1123-04.htm&click=176">Distress Mini Square Background stamp</a> from Rubbernecker Stamps on a red mat, then darkened up the edges of that with some black distress ink. I added a few black pearls at the bottom right corner, and glued on some red and black flowers. </div>

We are at the halfway point of our <a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.com/2018/06/mid-challenge-inspiration-post-for.html?m=1">Joyous Occasion challenge</a> on the Aurora Wings Challenge blog. It is time for the Stella Team to bring you our inspiration pieces for the next half of the challenge, and I made a birthday card for my niece using <b>"<a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/192391132/digital-stamp-marie-antoinette-big-hair?ga_search_query=marie&ref=shop_items_search_1">Marie Antoinette</a>"</b>. I cropped the image and printed it out at about 4" square. I really wanted to get into the fine details of this image which is why I cropped it and printed it off bigger than usual (my norm is 3.5"). My completed card is 5x5 inches.</div>

<br />
I coloured the image with Copics. I used white vellum for the back mat, then layered cheesecloth and lace on top of that. I matted my image on black so it would really pop, and I love the contrast you get layering on black. My flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. </div>

Happy Monday!! Today I have a card using the Autumn Leaves stamp and die sets from <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/?Click=176">Rubbernecker Stamps</a>. I also used the new <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5144-03d.htm&click=176">Nested Rectangle X Stitch dies</a> to cut out the mat, and the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5002d.htm&Click=176">Nested Circle Die set</a> for the sentiment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Obviously, it's spring, so making a card for Autumn seems a little weird, but I really love this set and since it's new, I wanted to share it with everyone. It doesn't hurt to get a jump start on making some cards for the fall! I layered the die cut leaves, wrapped some brown raffia around the mat, and layered the sentiment on top of the raffia. Easy Peasy. A simple and easy to make card with a really awesome stamp set.<br />

We are at the midway point of our <a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.ca/2018/05/mid-challenge-inspiration-post-for.html">Black and White Challenge</a> at Aurora Wings, and it is time for the Stella team to bring you their inspiration for this theme. I used <a href="https://www.aurorawings.com/store/p432/Rose-Corner-1-Digital-Stamp-Aurora-Wings">Rose Corner 1</a> to make a Valentine Card. My splash of colour is one red petal, as you can see, and the red mat behind the black.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">I coloured the image with Copics, using W7, W5, W4, W2, W0 and R20s. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. I kept the design clean and simple, just adding some pearls at the corners. I thought going into this it was going to be super quick to do because it's just black and white. Well, I was wrong. LOL! It still took me hours to colour. I don't think I ever did anything monochromatic like this before, and I really like the way it turned out. </span><br />

It's Rubbernecker Monday here on my blog. Every other Monday brings a new card made with Rubbernecker Stamps. This week I have made another card with the "<b><a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/3020.htm&Click=176">Butterflies are Free</a>"</b> stamp set. This set includes four sentiments and four different butterflies, so there is a lot you can do with one set. I also used the "<b><a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5119d.htm&click=176">Nested Circle Scallop</a>"</b> die set and the coordinating <b><a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/3020d.htm&Click=176">Butterflies are Free die set.</a> </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used all three of the scallop dies in the set to make this card. I created a circular card base that is just a little smaller than the largest scallop die, so the scallop detail really pops off the edges of the card. I used Stampin' Up paper and ink in Sweet Sugarplum. I layered the die cuts, heat embossed the sentiment, and added a die cut butterfly to finish it off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hello!! I have a new card for you today from <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/?Click=176">Rubbernecker Stamps</a> using one of the many watercolor stamp sets they have. I love working with these, and I think I have finally gotten the hang of it! This was my first try! I used the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/860.htm&Click=176">Layered Poppy Set</a>, along with the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/860d.htm&Click=176">coordinating die</a>, and a sentiment from the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/3020.htm&Click=176">Butterflies are Free</a> set. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfh5tR6ieK87P6PVKp2udQiyvBNmjM051GN0aIRppyhpmjvvCP2ipw5kXWwXTC4uQewxUOJ5mQXP2UuMWfTqplSX12C0q2VXYzNPvyAo5C5hjDI8rkc0uxQC9ZVAGbEWjxVSt3UxLDe0M5/s1600/Layered+Poppy+Set+860.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1500" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfh5tR6ieK87P6PVKp2udQiyvBNmjM051GN0aIRppyhpmjvvCP2ipw5kXWwXTC4uQewxUOJ5mQXP2UuMWfTqplSX12C0q2VXYzNPvyAo5C5hjDI8rkc0uxQC9ZVAGbEWjxVSt3UxLDe0M5/s400/Layered+Poppy+Set+860.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cut the die first. I thought it would help me line the stamps up. Sometimes that can be a little challenging with these multi-piece sets. This set is two stamps: the outline and the petals. I stamped the outline with Ranger Archival Ink and gave the ink a few minutes to dry to make sure it wouldn't bleed when I wet the paper. While it was setting, I prepped my petal stamp with three different colours, using SU Stampin' Write markers: Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, and Daffodil Delight. I randomly applied the colour because the watercolour effect you are trying to achieve will look more natural if you are a little loosy-goosy with the ink. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhifAAQKhJbuG_6fv9BWfy0aRinNM5QSaYd8mvv26Ze9rRP8ktEil428XjznfesYQJ7wVVpRvQm_HTurLSrpS0W-O_Ga_fcgM5gFCFfX3kW50f3mcoU1JChyDPr7t1uVqa2NhTDeJuqCe9k/s1600/20180404_141547.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="964" data-original-width="1600" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhifAAQKhJbuG_6fv9BWfy0aRinNM5QSaYd8mvv26Ze9rRP8ktEil428XjznfesYQJ7wVVpRvQm_HTurLSrpS0W-O_Ga_fcgM5gFCFfX3kW50f3mcoU1JChyDPr7t1uVqa2NhTDeJuqCe9k/s320/20180404_141547.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wet the paper (<a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/wcp.htm&Click=176">Rubbernecker Water Color Paper</a>) with a spray bottle, let it sit for a few seconds, then sprayed it again. Then I sprayed the inked stamp with water and pressed it to the paper. I let it sit on the paper for about five seconds or so, to let the colour absorb into the paper. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder "Juli's Garden" on the paper for the back mat. All the paper I used is SU Brights cardstock, that coordinates with the ink. I glued some rhinestones into the little circles created by the embossing folder, and added some string pearls to the sentiment square. Those <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5018d.htm&Click=176">rounded square die cuts</a>, by the way, Rubbernecker dies!! But you probably already knew that because I LOVE them and have been using them a LOT lately!!</div>

This is the <a href="https://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.ca/2018/03/challenge-65-sprite-delight-v-and-happy.html">fifth Sprite Delight challenge</a> we've had on the blog, and it is also the fourth anniversary of the challenge blog! There is also a special gift for you at the challenge blog, so make sure you visit if you weren't already there. Today I used <a href="https://www.aurorawings.com/store/p572/Wine-Sprite-PNG-Digital-Stamp-Aurora-Wings"><b>Wine Sprite</b></a> for my card:<br />
<br />

<br />
I did a pretty awesome job of repurposing papers and embellies for this card. The scalloped edge floral paper and the butterflies were both part of a thank you note from a craft company that I received quite some time ago. I had been holding on to it and the colours on the paper went perfectly with my colour scheme for this card. I added a bit of lace and some pearls and "Voila!<br />

I used the sentiment "My birthstone is a coffee bean", along with the single bean stamp and the cute little cup of steaming coffee to make my card, as well as the rounded square stitched die set.<br />

My paper is from the Teen Stack by DCWV. The pearl string is from Kaisercraft. This set has so many stamps I think I can do another 2 or 3 cards without repeating any! That serious value for your dollar. There is also a coordinating die set that I haven't been able to get my hands on yet, but I'm looking forward to playing with that soon.<br />

Happy Monday! Today I have a new card for you made with a new set of clear stamps from <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/?Click=176">Rubbernecker Stamps</a>. This is a sneak peek because they aren't in store yet. They should be in stock by the end of the month, so make sure you check in regularly so I can tell you when they are released. My next couple of cards are going to be made with this set. There are a total of ELEVEN stamps, so you can make a few cards with this one set. I also used the <a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5002d.htm&Click=176">nested circle dies</a>. I LOVE the die sets from Rubbernecker.<br />

<span style="color: #373737; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">My DP is from the Moroccan Designer Series collection at Stampin' Up.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I went diagonally down from Sentiment to Ribbons or Bow. I used<a href="https://www.aurorawings.com/store/p618/Shamrock-Sprite-Digital-Stamp-Aurora-Wings"> Shamrock Sprite</a> for my card. Since we are closing in on St. Patrick's Day and I'm part Irish, what better image to use!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I coloured the image with Copics, using YG's and Y's. The die cuts are from Rubbernecker Stamps. You can find them <b><a href="http://www.rubbernecker.com/product-p/5002d.htm&Click=176">HERE</a></b>. It is a nested die set and there are eight die cuts in the set. The ribbon I bought at Michaels. It was a real trial in patience, folding it like that over and over again, and gluing each fold down. The sentiment is from Verve Stamps.</div>

My DP and ink are from Stampin' Up. The ink is Sweet Sugarplum, and both that and the paper is from the Playful Palette collection. I punched out four different square sizes from the Nested Rounded Corner Square Small Stitch die set and layered them on the mat with foam squares so they pop up off the card. This stamp set comes with four butterflies and four sentiments, for loads of versatility. </div>
