Paddy Bear Shamrocks

Posted on February 8, 2016 10:08 PM by Julie 2 Comments

The Technique Challenge (TLC572) on Splitcoast today involves a pleated skirt made of paper. The instructions were not hard, I just made it harder on myself because of orientation of my image..so I had to reverse the side of the pleat & make is shorter to fit.

After I stamped, colored & die cut Paddy Bear, I colored a narrow cut off piece w/ the same green Copics & added it to the upper right. I used a piece of the marigold c/s to make my pleated skirt. It’s attached to a piece of white on the reverse side & I stamped it w/ little shamrocks using the marigold ink. I also used a dot embossing folder & curved border die to cut most of the lower edge. The two ribbons were also colored to match & attached on top of the pleated skirt. A little Wink of Stella was added to all the shamrocks.

These are the Copics I used to color everything.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Shamrock Bouquet

Posted on February 26, 2015 10:35 AM by Julie 1 Comment

Today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT520), is all about the color green (but you can also add earth tones). So my mostly green card w/ earth tone yellow/gold I think will fit the bill.

I started by stamping the Infinity Shamrock, masking it, then stamping the shamrock top from the Hatfull of Shamrocks then coloring them in. I die cut white & a gold panels w/ circles cut out toward the top to frame my bouquet. the greeting was stamped underneath. I stamped, colored and fussy cut a few shamrocks to add on either side of the greeting. These weren’t originally in the plan, but became necessary when a couple of mysterious spots appeared. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Shamrock Lattice

Today’s Free for All Challenge (F4A261)on Splitcoast has 2 requirements..St. Patrick’s Day theme & use one of the tutorials in the SCS Resources section. I went with THIS tutorial on creating a frame using Spellbinders nestabilities.

After using two sizes of Labels 22 to make my frame, I also die cut a fancy lattice, used part of it behind the frame and the rest for the lower part of my card front. The Infinity Shamrock was stamped w/ green ink, then I added a light green shading to it before stamping the greeting on top with black. I attached it on top of the lattice and a green panel behind the lattice before attaching to my card. The shamrock swag was colored & fussy cut.

Thanks so much for stopping by! If you haven’t yet, please be sure to check out the DRS Thursday Challenge! This week, it’s a color challenge using spring greens. DRS images are not required so head on over and link up!
