Happy Sunday, y'all, and that means it's time for a new Paper Players challenge! Check out this wonderful sketch from Jaydee:
I personally don't like making slimline cards (I know, I'm weird) so I modified the sketch for a standard A2 card and here's what I made:
Ryan asked why I made a St. Patrick's Day card when we haven't even gotten to Valentine's Day yet and the answer is I'm a rebel and I do what I want, and also this rainbow paper popped into my head one night as I was settling down to sleep and I just had to make it. I did think about snowflakes or hearts or teacups, but the shamrocks and rainbow background won out this time. I added some gold accents for the lucky leprechaun who gets this card in the mail. I used Shaded Spruce ink for the darker shamrocks, which are showing up darker in the photo than they do IRL, they're lovely dark green. I think I inked up my Shaded Spruce ink pad in the not so distant past so it's stamping extra dark at the moment.

Oh my gosh! I don't think a St. Patrick's Day card could get any better, Christy! The colorful paper was the perfect choice for the backdrop. Combine that with a snippet of sparkly gold paper and gold embellies, and the end result is fabulous. It will brighten any leprechaun's day. Have a wonderful week! Stay safe and warm!
LOL, what a fun St Patrick's Day card! Love that rainbow background and your shamrocks are perfect for the challenge! Glad you thought outside the box!
Ha! I don't like making slimline cards either - too much trouble to get a nice envelope! The bright background is fun all on its own and the intricate shamrocks are little stunners. :-)
