Water coloring Shamrock

Good afternoon - second post from me today using Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps new release, staying with the St Patrick's Day theme I decided to have a go at water coloring with my new pencils


I stamped Shamrock Swag onto my watercolor card and colored it with pencils before adding water to blend the colors out. I then colored the edges of the card before stamping the St Patrick's Day sentiment from the Prickley Pear Spring and Easter Banner stamp set. I used green card and a leaf patterned design paper to mat my card before adding my image matted with same card. I few enamel dots take away the dead space around the image.

St Patrick's Day wishes

Good afternoon - I'm a little late in posting today because my mind went crazy yesterday and saved all my posts instead of publishing them as scheduled 😋

So I'm here today with more of the Prickley Pear Rubber Stamp's new release and today it's all about St Patrick's Day -or as it's called in the USA St Patty's Day!

I have used a gorgeous Celtic Border Stamp as my main focus on my card today:


I then stamped the Irish Blessing stamp into the center of the border and then fussy cut the entire image out. I matted my card with dark green card and a shamrock design paper which I had added St Patty's Day using my graphics program. I curled my image and used gel glue to give it dimension on my card base. I added some coordinating stamped images from Riley and Company and green skittles.

Getting Lucky

Hello - how's your Saturday going?

I'm almost at the end of an amazing week of Riley and Company new releases - but I have so enjoyed making and showcasing all these great cards.

This afternoon how about we get ready for St. Patty's (or Paddy's) Day?


yes Riley has an outfit for most occasions and the patron saint of Ireland gets a look in too!

I have used the Basic Riley, colored him with Alcohol markers and die cut him out. I then used the Valentines and St. Patty's accessory set and gave him a sweater and celebratory hat! Oh and the pints of Guinness are also a stamp and die cut!!!. I matted my card with white and green card adding in a sheet of shamrock patterned paper.
The Getting Lucky sentiment is part of a Funny Bones stamp but I felt it went well as they always say "the luck of the Irish" and Riley is certainly getting lucky with the line up of drinks he has!!

  Thank you for stopping by, to see all the new release stamps head on over to the new release section of the Riley and Company online store, they still have all the new release offers on:
