Hello and welcome. Today I'd like to share with you a card made using a couple of sets from Gecko Galz. I sure thankful for Gecko Galz's pre-colored images. It sure makes creating with a migraine, or concussion, easier so I don't go stir crazy. The blogging is much harder right now. The images/kits I used are their gorgeous Stained Glass Beauty and It's Not Easy Being Green digital paper pack. The stained glass reminds me so much of my late uncle who used to make stained glass pieces to sell/give as gifts. So, Uncle Dave, this is in your memory.
I started out by cutting the background paper to size before dry embossing it using a Cuttlebug© Moroccan screen embossing folder in my Big Shot©. Once that was done, I adhered it to a green base card and slightly sanded the embossing images to "rough it up a bit". Taking the stained glass collage, I cut the shamrock one to size, adhering it to green/black card stock scraps then added brads. Once that was finished, I adhered the layered image to the card using glue dots, then added some light green Prima flowers I've had in my stash for years. The final touches were a light green rhinestone to the center of the flowers/shamrock, a small green bow and some Tim Holtz mowed lawn distress ink sponged along the edges.

Sorry you are still suffering, Bonnie, and I pray it all gets better for you soon. In the meantime, it's good that you can still make beautiful cards so you don't go bananas. I love the stained glass shamrock window! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
