Feeling Green

It's time for the new Sentimental Sunday's challenge. This week we are challenging you to "Go Green!" You can interpret however you feel, St. Patrick's day, the color green, or even recycling, but be sure to include a sentiment.

I decided to make a card for St. Patrick's day using a new, precolored digi from Meljen's Designs and a sentiment from Raindrop Echo Designs. Using a precolored digi made putting a card together really quick. These papers are out of my stash. I bought them a few years ago when a local scrapbooking store went out of business and they have just been sitting there waiting to be used.




I am looking forward to making my Guinness-Braised Beef Brisket & Quick Cook Cabbage and cracking open a Guinness while listening to my Celtic playlist on Thursday. What do you do for St. Patrick's day?

I hope you will join us in the "Go Green!" challenge at Sentimental Sundays. Thank you for stopping by!





Supplies:


  • Stamps: Shamrock Bear (colored) by Meljen's Designs, Luck Sentiments from Raindrop Echo Designs (both available on Whimsy Stamps)
  • Papers & CS: PaperTrey white cs, Georgia Pacific cs, Bazzill Basics Carob Cream, Karen Foster Design Celtic Knots, My Mind's Eye Signature Suite Textured Lime & Bohemia Textured Green
  • Inks: None
  • Tools: Sewing machine, Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities
  • Embellishments: Sakura gellyroll glitter pens in clear, gold & olive, Close To My Heart Stardust glitter gel, dew drops
