Thursday night the 7 Cardologists had a double celebration. It was our St Patty's party but also it was Bob's birthday. Tina made an excellent dessert - because Bob loves ice cream, and green is the color of the day - she made a peppermint ice cream brownie cake. Yum.
Of course, in the rush I forgot to take a picture of Bob's birthday card. Hope she'll be kind and take one for me. Here is the card I made for St Patrick's day. I also want to enter it in
Virginia's View Challenge this month for the watercoloring.
I embossed gold shimmer cardstock with a Darice embossing folder, stamped and embossed a verse from My Sentiments Exactly on watercolor paper, and painted a rainbow. A scrap of green paper, a shamrock button from my collection and a piece of gold thread finished the card.
May the leprechaun's be kind to you! Thanks for visiting.
In my last post I mentioned that we were celebrating a birthday. Now that she has seen the card, I can post pictures of Jules' birthday card. I have been wanting to make a rainbow card in DSP for a while after seeing similar designs on pinterest. I combined Sage greens and Bliss Blues. Since I didn't have to mail it, I added a flower made with the Stampin Up pansy punch (pinterest again) and spritzed with Tattered Angels. I had a new butterfly die from Memory box to add more dimension to the front. The inside is a step card - and you guessed it - directions found on pinterest. (Now you know the reason I don't post much!)
My step card says "Big Wish"; the letters were handcut - so many dies, but none the right font! I used a Rubber Stamps of America fairy stamp I bought ages ago. I had to use the computer to make it smaller to fit and also to flip one. That's the SU pansy stamp in the background. Note to self - don't use such heavy cardstock next time - the card is way too thick and heavy. Stands up good though!
