Happy St. Patty's Day

 

Hello and welcome.  Quick post today since I'm still dealing with a nasty migraine, and fibromyalgia, flare.  I'd like to share a couple of quick cards I finished several days ago, but couldn't post because of pain.   I made them both using images from Conjurer of Dreams using the following sets: Grumpy Leprechauns, green silks.  I kept them both pretty simple and added only ribbon scraps and bling to finish them off.

Lucky Me

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a St. Patty's Day card made for my in-laws.  I pulled out an old Stampin Up set called Lucky Me, that's long retired, I've had since 2000.  In fact, I tried to sell the set when my husband and I moved 6yrs ago, and it didn't sell.  Must have been meant to be for me to keep it.

I started out by stamping the saying and image onto scrap white card stock before coloring it using Castle Art pencils.  I then layered stippled some glorious green ink around the edges using my Picket Fence blending brushes before layering and adding some small white brads.  My card is made using Stampin Up card stock along with some shamrock designer paper I've had for years and never used.  I'm not even sure who made the designer paper since the pad was "disassembled" during the move.  After adding a small stamped border strip, I adhered the layered panel using glue dots before adding some shamrock ribbon from my stash.  As an afterthought, I lightly stippled some green galore ink around the saying and images before adding some green sequins using Ranger glossy accents to adhere them.

A Bit Of Luck

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for St. Patty's Day using Lucky Linnea from A and M Memories.

After printing off my image, and coloring using both prismacolor and copic markers, I highlighted parts of her skirt using a white signo gel pen before layering.  The card is made using scrap Stampin Up! card stock and some DCWV spring mat stack designer paper.  I then die cut a green flourish using my big shot and sizzix die before adding some brads, prima flower, shamrock, buttons and gold coin stickers.  My final touches were adding a white organdy ribbon and color sprizting some ink using a garden green marker and sponging green galore ink around the edges of the card.
