It's not often that I can create a card for four challenges, but it's the luck of the Irish in this case. St. Patrick's Day is coming and all four challenges feature some aspect of the traditions surrounding St. Patrick's Day. Luckily for me I have two birthdays to celebrate--one on the day itself and another on the 18th.
Here are the challenges:
The Card Concept Challenge is a photo inspiration: I'm picking up on the hat (St. Patrick's Day) and the green for my card.
As usual, it fits their category "Clean and Simple."
CASology's challenge is Luck, and my card features four-leaf clovers, definitely a sign of luck!
At JUGS, the challenge is Animals, and I've yet another Anita Jeram cutie holding the four-leaf clover.
It's been awhile since I've played with Seize the Birthday, and yes, there are three shades of green created with three green Karin watercolor markers.
So finally, the card itself. As I said it features another of the Anita Jeram illustrations from the Colorado Craft Company. Knowing I had St. Patrick's Day cards to create, it was a must-have.
I stamped the design on Altenew watercolor paper and colored it with Karin brush markers. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Ways to Say: Birthday.
I wanted a narrow frame of traditional St. Patrick's green (New Leaf from PTI) and then added it to a card base created with Green Parakeet (PTI).
I hope the luck of the Irish is with you today!
