Hello! Thank you for stopping by. The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and it's a super easy, super basic sketch. I think those are the best liked sketches.
My card features a little Pinterest inspiration. I needed to make St. Patrick's Day cards for the ladies I send cards to every week. It's only appropriate for this time of year, right? I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do so with a cup of coffee in one hand and my phone in the other I took to Pinterest for a little help. I came across a couple of cards that I really liked and took those to make my own.
The first thing I did was printed the argyle paper. While I was on my computer I also made the sentiment. The card base I made from Tonic Studio Craft Perfect card stock. It's this lovely, vibrant green. Then I pulled out my washi tape jar and found the green striped washi and the gold washi. I had this scrap of black glittery ribbon so I grabbed it, too and decorated the base of the card. Then I pulled out some Celery card stock by Concord & 9th (you'd never know it was that color after I got done with it!) and die cut hearts using the smallest die from they layering set by Spellbinders. I glued them to make shamrocks and then inked them up using Celery ink and Asparagus (I think that's what it's called) by MFT. Then I pulled out the Picket Fence Distress ink reinker and made splatters and then finally finished them with a spritz or two of Nuvo Sparkle Spray in Cream Gold. You can't really see that shine in the photo, but in real life, OH MY! So pretty! I cut a circle from from gold mirror card stock using stitched circle dies from Pink & Main.
What fun I had! I hope you enjoy this card, that it inspires you to create a card and join our challenge. Thank you for stopping by and be sure to visit us at the TMS blog and leave some love!!
