St. Patrick's Day Cards Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing two St. Patrick's Day cards created with the 5006 - Sham-rock Set from Art Impressions!

The first card features the cute leprechaun image guarding a bountiful Pot O' Gold. I love the "May the Luck of Irish be yours!" greeting!

The second card features the dancing lady stamp. She is so festive with her St. Patrick's Day outfit and fun shamrock earrings! I also used a plaid stencil to add a glowing look to the background to spotlight her!

The greeting "Irish you a lucky day!" was embossed in white and looks great on the dark floor. I also added layers of green cardstock, gold glitter paper, and a green & white pattern paper to coordinate with her clothing. I'm loving the mix of patterns!

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and are inspired to create some St. Patrick's Day projects with the 5006 -Sham-rock Set!

Have a great weekend!

St. Patrick's Day Cards Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

Fluttering by to say... Hello!

Hi everyone!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the lovely Build a Butterfly Set 1 and Shamrock Heart Stencil!

To begin the project, I used Pixie Spray to secure the stencil on the paper. I blended two shades of green Distress Oxide ink to give an ombre look to the shamrocks. Pixie Spray is amazing!

I created the butterfly by stamping the bottom layer with pink ink and used the Color Hive Eclipse Black Ink for the top layer. This black ink has great coverage and after it dries you are able to color without any smearing!

For some sparkle, I used the super pretty Sugar Sparkle Glitter and Crown Jewels (Limewired); love the way it pops against the hot pink ink! Kaleidoscope Powder (Neptune) was also layered over the shamrocks to give them a cool color-shifting look!

The sentiment was stamped with Color Hive Clear and embossing with a fine white powder. White embossing always looks great on black paper! The inside greeting was stamped in black ink to coordinate with the front sentiment.

To complete the card, I stamped the butterfly body directly on to the stenciled design and attached it to a 6x6 card base.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Tasha here sharing a festive card created with the Flower Gnome stamp set from Dare 2B Artzy. I love challenging myself to think of new ways to use my stamps and thought the cute Gnome "Gnellie" would make a sweet St. Patrick's Day card.

Gnellie was colored with markers and I used the coordinating die set to easily cut the image out. To stick with the theme, I used traditional Irish colors and attached a shamrock sticker. I'm loving the red hair!

Lastly, I added a simple "Happy St. Patrick's Day" greeting and used layers of gold metallic paper and plaid D2BA pattern paper to bring in more color. I think gold always looks great on a card! I also added some gold shamrock coin stickers to complete the design.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
