Happy Tuesday to you! It’s another ColourQ day! Check out this cool geometric creation:
I have to admit, although I love this pillow, and I love green, this challenge stumped me a bit! I don’t normally send out St Patrick’s Day cards, but these greens just sent me in that direction! So, I used the sketch from Create with Connie & Mary for this week:
to create my CAS card:
The card base is textured Very Vanilla, and my little leprechaun is from the Gift Givers set that was in the Holiday Mini….such a great versatile set, I am hoping they put it in the upcoming catalog! I did some watercoloring (added some blue, hope that’s okay, Arielle!) and then popped him up:
You can’t tell here, but his little gold coins were colored with a Zig Painty pen, so they are really gold! I also added a stitched shamrock, using three hearts punched from the Triple Heart punch:
I am just not too sure the shamrock style matches my leprehaun’s outline style, but it’s done and over! But would it surprise you to know that I stamped another card before this one and I was not real happy it either? Here we go:
I think I would have preferred a white background….but it is good to step out of your creative box, right? That’s it for today! I hope you can come up with a creative way to use these colors and share them with us over at the ColourQ….and while you’re there, check out what the other designers have come up with as well!
Thanks for visiting!
Super cute green cards :)
