Sami Stamps Challenge #35 & The Card Concept #50

Hello, friends!  I'm here today to share a St. Patrick's Day card I made for two challenges.

First Challenge:  Sami Stamps Challenge #35: Stitching.  I used faux stitching around the border of my image (using a Lil' Inkers stitched rectangle die).



Second ChallengeThe Card Concept #50: Shamrocks, Patterns & Greens.  What a perfect motivator to make a few cards for St. Patrick's Day!  My card follows the "Clean and Simple" style since I used one main image, lots of open space, limited layers/embellishments,and it was a quick and easy card to create.



I had fun coloring this beautiful digital image from Sami Stamps Shop called "Little Shamrock Dancer."   I have two daughters with this color hair, and one is a dancer, so they were my inspiration when coloring this lovely girl!


I colored the images with Copic markers and added accents with a white gel pen.  The blue shadow is a Paper Smooches image stamped with Soft Pool shadow ink by Hero Arts.

I will add a "Happy St. Patrick's Day" sentiment inside the card but I wanted to let the image stand alone...isn't is delicate and pretty?

Be sure to check out both challenges if you get a chance!
Thanks for stopping by,
Judy
