I made this card with St. Patrick's in mind but subtly. I feel like I could send this next week or a month from now and it would be okay either way.
I used an image from ArtbyMarin called Fashionista. Love her. I colored her using both Copics and Prismacolor pencils. Shakin' things up a bit. :) I fussy cut her out and added her back on my Nestabilities oval dies cut in white and Green Galore. The embroidery floss is from Terri's stash and I combined all three greens to create the bow. I used Green Galore ink to stamp the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp 'Card Exchanging Friends' set. I continued the clover on the inside. Didn't want to go overly St. Patrick's Day but the card is about being lucky.
Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

ReplyDeleteYour coloring is fantastic! I enjoyed the story of the Irish wedding anniversary. I work in a nursing home. One of the couples there got married on St. Patrick's Day (many years ago). They figured they wouldn't have to do much for a reception because everyone would already be partying anyway. Good plan! People are so funny!

Hey girl! Beautiful card! Great coloring! Glad you played along with us at The Pink Elephant Challenge this week! Glad to find a fellow "Irishgirl" like myself --- half Irish but not big into Irish card making! lol I do like the green beer though. Our neighbors have an annual St Paddy's dinner party which is always lots of fun. Have a great weekend! ~ Nance
ReplyDeleteOH my goodness. Love the coloring and such a pretty card! Thanks for playing along with Sunshine Mail Foundation. It will definitely put a smile on the child's face. - Princess DT member
