I saw a couple of challenges yesterday, and I knew I had to put to paper an idea I had kicking around in my head. It’s a little silly, but it was fun to make! I do not send out St Patrick’s Day cards----no Irish in my family—but it’s always good to have a sample in my stash just in case someone is looking for one! So let me show you the card first, then I’ll clue you in on the challenges:
The first challenge is Stampin’ Royalty’s color challenge:
the second is The Paper Variety’s “Let’s See Your Green”:
and the third is Stampin’ Celebration’s “A Little Bit of Luck”:
The card is pretty straight-forward; I made the hat with the tab punch, using half of the punch to punch out a Wild Wasabi piece, then punching it again to make a smaller piece. I colored the branch punchouts with a Chocolate Chip marker for the bark; everything else is from the Owl Punch. Again, it’s a fun little card---and that’s what St. Pat’s is all about, right? Thanks for visiting today!
- Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Punch Bunch
- Paper: Sahara Sand, WW, Wild Wasabi, Garden Green, Woodland Walk DP
- Ink: Garden Green
- Acc: Bird Punch, Owl Punch, Modern Label Punch, Tab Punch, Pearls, Choc Chip marker
