This stamp is really not 'me' but I just couldn't resist it, I think it's beautiful. It's actually stamped in black onto a green/ blue inky cosmic shimmery background... the peacock is all shimmery in blues and greens but the photo isn't showing it up, grrr! The green embossed panel is core'dinations, with a bit of light sanding and inking, and it was then sprayed with 'spray & sparkle' - again this isn't showing up in the pic. Penny Black sentiment, pearls from stash.
A question for all the inky people out there - how do you get all the ink off your hands?! I had bright green hands for hours after I made this... they're still quite green now, after LOTS of washing.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- A Spoon Full of Sugar - anything goes
- Simon Says - sparkle & shine (it's there, honest!)
- Crafts & Me - anything goes (optional Kraft)
- Truly Scrumptious - anything goes
- Pear Tree Designs - stamped images

You are right hun, this isn't "you", but it is still FAB-U-LOUS! Love the rich green, reminds me of emeralds. Super work sweetie, hope your hands come clean! I think I'm having the same problem, flitting between CAS and OTT and a bit in the middle, could account for my missing mojo! Hugs Sxx
Lovely card Lisa. I hope you are ok xx Jan
Hey Lisa, you know what they say - variety is the spice of life!! I never stick to one style of cardmaking - get too bored. I have to try many different techniques and styles. This is beautiful and that peacock is awesome. Oh and the green hands is all part of the fun - :0) Hugs Denise xx
I think it's great that you are experimenting and trying different looks and techniques and I have to say this is just fabulous hun. I love the image and the colour combo sets it off a treat. Love it! Hugs, Claire x
Hi Lisa

Fab card Lisa! Have you tried washing up liquid on your hands? Or nail varnish remover? Hope this helps

Gorgeous Lisa...love the image and that stunning colour..!
Good luck with the green hands hun..have you tried white spirit!
hugs Vicky xx
Really elegant card. Have you tried lemon juice on your hands (not if you've got a cut though - ouch!), or swarfega? xx
Hi there Lisa, Your card is simply gorgeous, we all need a change now and then and green hands will come clean in a nice long soak in the bath, I think! LOL :0) xxx
Oh love the colour of your card and super images thank you for sharing your work with us at the pear tree design
hugs linda x

Great card, you have inspired me to have a go at making something inky. xx
So this is where your green hands came from then? Looks fabulous. Totally not your normal style but you've still managed to make it look clean and crisp.
I'd suggest Swarfega too, but I don't have any alcohol inks so not the best person to advise I'm afraid.
Love Mandy xxx

Hi Lisa, this is a beautiful card! Very striking. I use a Ranger craft scrubbie to clean ink off -

Gorgeous card Lisa, love it! x
This is a very striking card! Something different from what I usually see on blog land :)
I've tried craft scrubbie, and it works like a gentle exfoliator... another quick tip a crafty friend once gave me, all the ink will go away when you wash your hair! I guess it works because your hair would have acted like an exfoliator without you realising it!
Love it, thanks so much for sharing

Hi Lisa
Join the club!! I like trying lots of different styles too .. .. there is just so much out there to learn and experiment with!!
Love what you have done here.
Very rich and vibrant .. .. hopefully your hands weren't quite this green or people might think you were turning into the Incredible Hulk!!!
I find a good old scrub with soap and a nail brush works wonders .. .. plus the hair washing tip works too.
Love Jules xx
Gorgeous inky creation Lisa - I love it!
I too skip around formn one style to the other - nowt wrong with that though - it shows versatility lol!!!
I find using shampoo and nail brush helps get the ink off :-)
Have a fab day.
