Welcome to another HITBH! If you came from Sue's site, I'm glad you are continuing the hop. If you haven't then I hope you'll continue to hop using my links below. No matter what, I'm glad you're here. Today we have a sketch challenge and here is what I created for it...oh, and by the way, enjoy corned beef and perhaps an Irish Mule!
and here is the sketch...
This was a quick and easy card to make as the paper did all the work. My card base is Shaded Spruce Cardstock. I used a panel of Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper and a strip of Gold Foil hearts that I die cut with the Sweet Heart Dies. I cut the tag, using the same die set, out of Brushed Metallic 12" x 12" Cardstock and adhered a Bumblebee Trinket over the hole.. The heart from the Sweet Conversations Stamp Set is stamped on a scrap of the DSP that had a little bit of gold on it. I used Shaded Spruce ink and die cut it with another die from the aforementioned set. I adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.
For the inside, I sponged a Basic White panel using the tapping method, which turns out more like stippling. The "Happy St. Patrick's Day" is from the A Wish for Everything Stamp Set. The "happy" sentiment is from Sweet Conversations. I stamped the hearts at the bottom with another stamp from Sweet Conversations. The ink, again, is Shaded Spruce.
I rounded the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered it to the card base with liquid glue.
I'm entering my card at Double Trouble Bring on the Green Challenge #105 and their partner Heart 2 Heart Wearin' of the Green.
I'm also playing at Krafty Chicks Challenge #603 - CAS.
