Stamping in the background....

I adore that balloon stamp and have used it for a lot of pages.

It never gets old.

I also broke out the stamps from Studio Calico - the skies the limit set

and used the clouds and sun from there to help

build the scene.

In full disclosure I tried drawing, cutting and painting clouds.

The stamps were the better option.

 I'm still having difficulties in stamping and because

this is the last of the gelato paper I used

on another page, well -it just has to work,

I stamped "rock the wall."
More or less.

 Of course I did it twice on two different words

because I'm consistent that way.

In my defense they are itty bitty fonts on wooden sticks.

 Love the fun cluster going here.

With more stamping.

You have to admire my tenacity.

The photo is beautiful in color however, it just

didn't quite work when this page came

together. I was going with all shades of grey and

my pal April suggested blue.

I of course used yellow with blue homemade enamel dots.

Mostly because I had more yellow than blue.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
