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.

Bonnie, what a cute St. Patrick's Day card! As soon as I saw it I knew I had the stamp set somewhere in my collection, too, but had forgotten about it. After seeing what you did with it on your card, I'm going to have to look harder to find it! I like how you used the shamrock paper for the background and LOTS of shades of green! Thank you for sharing your card and talents with us at Double Trouble for our "Bring on the Green" challenge!!! -Donna

Ah, so glad to hear about this St Pat's rescue, lol, it was meant to be! Great design - perfect timing! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how we have stamps from 2000, and more amazing that it was one that you wanted to sell but it wanted to stay in its home. Adorable image and glad you brought it out of your stash to create your pretty St Patrick's Day card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble and you may want to share with our partner Heart2Heart "Going Green".
ReplyDeleteSome stamp sets are keepers for sure and this is one of them. I don't have any St. Patrick's Day stamps, except for one that says "Happy St. Patrick's Day" I wish I would have heard of your sale, I would have gotten this set for sure.

Stay healthy and safe.
