Blessings

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Life is so crazy right now.  On those days I yearned to be able to stay home
and craft, I never would have thought it wouldn't be an option to go out!

I hope you are staying safe and healthy.



These shamrocks were so easy to stamp with the MISTI.
A little inking and a damp brush to move and blend the ink was all it took.

I added a sentiment and a few splatters and some dew drops too.

I want to thank you for all your love and support with my blog break.
I do miss sharing on my blog and will be back in earnest very soon.

I'm hoping these shamrocks will bring us all luck, good health,
and many blessings!

Loving all the green on this pretty card! Beautiful font on the sentiment too. Fabulous card Bonnie
I hear you on not going anywhere too - self imposed quarantine is how it is around here. Nice to catch up on things though.

So good to see you posting. This is such a lovely St. Patrick's Day card. The splatters look great. Stay safe and only come back when you are ready. We'll be here. (Where else can we go now?)

What a treat to see your St. Pat. card posted this morning. I check your blog every morning with my coffee just out of habit so a nice surprise. It is more important than ever to take care of ourselves...so glad you acted on taking a needed break.

Blessings to you also, my friend. Those shamrocks are so vibrant and cheerful. Hope to see you back soon.

This card lets you believe that everything can end well. Yes, let happiness not leave us. Bonnie, take care of yourself, my dear friend. Voluntary quarantine is a good way not to get infected with this abomination.
Hugs,
BożenA

Love the shamrocks and the rich green colour. The bit of bleeding out of the leaves adds a wonderful shadow around them. Great splatter and dew drop placement.

I love this Bonnie, and once again love that stamp! You did a beautiful job coloring it was well as designing with the placement of that gorgeous font of your sentiment. I sense I will be shopping again (grin). Enjoy your break from blogging but fun to see this!

Beautiful St. Patrick's Day card, Bonnie. Life is so crazy right now. I am finally getting some mojo and energy back and finally played in my craftroom yesterday. Ramie has been sick with a cold (we think) so we haven't even been able to go see the babies. Really miss those little people... Hope all is well with you and your family.

TK said...

Fun and perfect card for the "season" and time we're in -- stay safe, and we'll await your return :o)

Happy belated St, Patrick’s Day, Bonnie! Beautiful card to mark the holiday.
Stay healthy and take care.

Mac Mable said...

You are missed Bonnie x A real pretty card and the water colour effect of the stamping looks beautiful x. Stay safe too my friend x.

Robyn Oliver said...

A fantastic 'good luck' card Bonnie, I love the watery wash effect with the splatters and a few dew drops. Hope all is well - lucky we crafters are used to social isolation/distancing and I'm we've all got more than enough supplies on hand. Hugs and take care Robyn

Loll said...

Your shamrocks are so pretty, Bonnie. I know they will help to bring us good luck. We could all use a little of that right now. I have missed you terribly and look forward to you being back on-line regulary, my dear friend. Love you, Loll

Pretty lucky shamrock card, Bonnie! I love the beautiful shades of green and the way you place a part of the stamped image. The fine spatters and dew drops are really nice touches. Looking forward to seeing your cards more often in the future, my friend!

Green for hope...I think. Hoping you are well and also your family.
Love this bouquet of shamrocks, the bleeding green adds to the airiness along with the splatters.
Blessings to you dear friend xx
