I have a friend whose birthday is on Halloween, so there's been a couple of times where his Halloween birthday card has gone in costume as something else, like a St. Patrick's Day birthday card, or a 4th of July birthday card. :) This one also used the coordinating Pinch Me wheel, which I have since cut apart into 9 stamps.
I made those three cards for my SU customers one year, I was just having fun playing with Pinch Proof and trying out some different layouts. So that's it for the archives, let's see a new Pinch Proof card, shall we?
Ok, double motive for picking this stamp set today: my friend Karen really *is* a St. Paddy's Day baby, so I needed a card for her. I've been in a bit of a mini-funk the past couple days where none of my creations were really making me happy, but this time I went in my stamp room with a very clear idea of what I wanted to do and I am pretty pleased with the result. Yay, funk over! (I hope, anyway.)
The color combo is from ColourQ:
It was fun to play with Glorious Green again, it's been a long time since I pulled that out of the ol' cardstock file. I actually like that color, though I admit I didn't use it a whole lot even before SU! retired it. And the chevron background on my card makes me happy; I think that's the first time I've used the chevron EF.
Most of the time I don't decorate the inside of my cards much, but since I was lining this one with Whisper White I thought I'd throw a few shamrocks on there.
Thanks for joining me on today's Friday Flashback, have a wonderful weekend and Erin go bragh!
