Hi everyone! Happy Thursday and Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Here is a little card I created to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! Although I am (mostly) Italian, my hubby is 100% Irish...hmmm, perhaps I should have made corned beef & cabbage instead of a card :)
For my card, I used the adorable Pure Innocence 4 Leaf Clover (currently being restocked) from My Favorite Things and stamped her onto X Press It Blending Card.
I colored her with Copic Markers and cut and embossed the panel with Rectangle Nestabilities. Once again, I drew in a frame with a Copic Multliner. Oh! Before I forget...I just wanted to mention that my NEW favorite Copic for adding shading around an image is the new BG70. I LOVE it and used it on this card...you can see it's just a subtle shade around her.
Her shirt is paper pieced with the same paper I used on my card, Dutch Mustard from Jillibean Soup. I embossed the bottom panel with the Seeing Spots Embossing Folder and I added a crystal in the center of the shamrock on her shirt. I added a fun little detail with a die cut heart and button combo using the Die-Namics Hearts A Plenty Die and the Die-Namics Button Quartet Die. The border was created with the Die-Namics Open Scallop Border (see...I CAN use something other than the Die-namics Little Open Scallop Strip...go me!).

I went SUPER simple with the inside of my card. I stamped this cutie again in silhouette with Chocolate Chip ink and then added the sentiment, "I'm lucky you're my friend". I colored the shamrock in with a Copic Marker and added another crystal to match the front. My layout is this past Saturday's sketch from The Sweet Stop, SSS99.
Here are the Die-Namics I've used on my card today:
Thanks so much for stopping by! May the luck of the Irish be with you!!

ReplyDeleteJodi - this entry cracked me up & reminded me of myself: I'm all Italian, yet we do have family tradition of making corned beef & cabbage. You'd think we were Irish, but aren't we all for just one day.
