Celtic Congratulations


Hi, I've had this stamp on loan for a while from my sister! Thought I'd better use it before I return it to her. It's labelled Stamps & Stuff from South Australia, it's pretty old I think. It reminds me of celtic knotwork.

I stamped the image 3 times in gold Versacolor ink and gold embossed them. Layered them on a white strip and then a gold strip.

I'm going to enter the challenge at CASology, where the code word this week is CARE. The design Team have some great inspirational projects displayed.

Thanks for visiting :)

    What a great stamp! It makes a wonderful panelled focal point! (I think I'd just "forget" to return it!)

    Thank you so much for visiting me from Darnell's blog and for your lovely comments. This card is fabulous! I think I would want to keep the stamp! The card is brilliant for a guy card - I always find these so difficult, I might borrow the idea something if that's ok? xx

    Fab card. So simple in style, yet so elegant & beautiful. Great color scheme...so soft & misty in appearance. Just like the Ancient Isle. That Celtic stamp is one I'd love to have in my arsenal...You really did a wonderful job on this card. TFS
