Luck of the Irish

Welcome! Today I have a St. Patrick's Day card that was created using elements that I had in my leftover stash. I have been trying to better organize items in my studio so I can better find things that I can put to use.  I came across a white cs background die cut with Spellbinders A2Divine Eloquence, some shamrocks cut with the Cameo using a Silhouette file, and a printed digital sentiment from Power Poppy.  I embossed the Shamrocks with Cuttlebug EF Tiny Bubbles. I die cut the sentiment with a label die and placed it on a mat of Green CS. (I created the mat by tracing the outline of the label die and fussy cut it from the green cs.) I assembled all my found elements on a Green Card Base that matched the Shamrocks and added in some Metallic Shamrock confetti from stash.  I finished the inside of the card with an Irish Blessing printed on the computer. 

FYI-The white frame was also embossed with a Darice Floral EF but it does not show in the photo. 

Challenges:
Inspiration Station: Challenge #25 Lucky Clover. When I saw the challenge photo I was inspired to use up those die cut shamrocks but add some bubbles with embossing. 

Can You Handle the Pressure? Challenge is Anything Goes with Embossing with a Twist of Think Spring. Used EF on Shamrocks and also on Background that does not show in photo.

St. Patrick's Day Lantern

Hello! or should I say Top of the Morning to Ya?   I've been having fun creating St. Patrick's cards so I thought I'd make a Lantern for St. Pat's Day as well.  I started with a sheet of 12" x 12" green cardstock and cut the design with my Cameo using Silhouette file #253765 by Suzanne Cannon.  I erased the cuts for the fold lines before cutting because I like to use my Scor-Pal to mark the fold lines.  I think this gives a smoother look to all the folds.  I assembled the lantern and  used vellum to cover the openings.  Placed a battery tea light inside. 

Challenges:

Wish You Luck

Hello! Are you feeling lucky? I have been creating some St. Patrick's Day cards.  This one uses a digital image and sentiment from Power Poppy Wish You Luck.   I printed the image on a background of shamrock digital paper (unknown) from my files.  I then colored the image with Copic Markers ( a favorite technique) and added some metal confetti and 3 pearls. I attached this to a white card base ( at a slight angle) that I edged with Gold Glitter gel. 

Challenges:

Lucky Bear

Hello on this Monday Morning!  Today I am sharing a tag that I made for the challenge at Tag You're It ! #38 shown on the right.   I was inspired by the layout, the water color background, and animal theme in Tracey's tag.  I chose a bear instead of an elephant and a St. Patrick theme for my tag.  I used an unidentified Lucky Bear from my digital files with a computer generated sentiment on watercolor paper.  I used Distress Inks for the background and copics for coloring.  I used Glossy Accents on the Shamrock Balloon and finished with green and white twine. 
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Pot of Gold for St. Pat's

 

Here we are on the second day of March, already!  May spring  be around the corner soon and the luck that it brings  for St. Pat's Day!  I hope to send some Irish Luck and Blessings with this card later this month.  I used digital image and sentiment  from Meljen's  Designs that I colored with some Copics and a Pilot Gold Metallic marker. I used Gold Metallic CS for the base and added some gold foiled accent paper corners and strip from scraps.
