Leprechaun Paddy Card for St. Patrick's Day

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. This is one of the cards I made to send to my granddaughters. Please click on the picture below to enlarge it.

 This card measures 5" by 6.5". The background paper is from the Tim Holtz Wallflower scrapbook paper pad.

The digital image/sentiment is "Paddy" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I used a Sizzix die to cut a scalloped oval around the image. I sponged some distress ink around the edges of the oval.

I attached the sentiment to a piece of black cardstock and attached it to the top of the card.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;

This card measures 5" by 6.5". The background paper is from the Que Sera Sera scrapbooking paper pad by K&Co. 

This card features the digital stamp "Little Irish Dancer" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. I cut it out and attached it to the background paper.

I heat embossed the sentiment at the top of the card. I then embellished the card with some shamrock stickers.

Handmade St. Patrick's Day Card

St. Patrick's Day, although not a legal holiday anywhere in the United States, is nonetheless widely recognized and celebrated throughout the country. It is primarily celebrated as a celebration of Irish and Irish American culture; celebrations include prominent displays of the color green, feasting, religious observances, and numerous parades. The holiday has been celebrated on the North American continent since the late eighteenth century, prior to the American Revolution.

Today I made a St. Patrick's Day card to enter in Mo's Digital Challenge #125 - Try Something New. This is the very first St. Patrick's Day card that I have made so I think it qualifies as a new experience.

This is how I made the card;
(1.) The base is a pre-made cream-colored card that measures 5" by 6.5".
(2.) I attached a piece of patterned paper with a green shamrock pattern on the front of the card.
(3.) I took two pieces of green cardstock and dry embossed them with the "Swiss Dots" embossing folder and my Cuddlebug.
(4.) I printed out the digital image "Summer Fairy Finna" from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. I colored the image with Copic sketch markers, embellished the wings with Stickles glitter glue and cut it out.
(5.) I punched out some green corner shapes and attached them to the background of the card. I assembled the card with glue dots.
(6.) I embellished the card with three punched butterflies, a piece of "feathered" twine and a Tim Holtz "Adore" ticket.
