A fun and light hearted St. Patrick's Day card. I often have to work on getting out of my comfort zone in my card making so I went with a fun inked background which I created with used ink cartridges from our inkjet printer and glossy photo paper. It was a blast to make these papers! You can check out the fun here.
I toned down the brightness a bit by stamping over it using a darker green ink and a flourished leaf background stamp. I added a length of bright green organza ribbon to the background before adhering it to a green card front. I tied on a short length of the same ribbon using a single knot which simulates a bow. The greeting is a digital one I created last year using Corel Draw, laser printed and punched out. I layered it onto a dark green label (SU) and then mounted it to my card front using 3D foam tape overlapping the ribbon. As a finishing touch I added a clear rhinestone to the center of my shamrock. Happy with my creation!! Therese
