Although I am proud of my Irish heritage, I have no need for a St Patrick's Day card .... often I'll make an effort to wear something green on March 17th, but in Australia we don't give cards to celebrate the occasion. So, I've made a card with LOTS of green on it instead.
It wasn't until I'd finished the card that I realised I'd used retired Designer Series Paper. I do try to use current product on the projects I share, but the starry paper is so darn cute that I've decided not to change it! Here's my green creation:
Stamps: Perfectly Preserved, Curly Cute
Card: Gumball Green, Whisper White, Basic Black
DSP: Snow Festival Designer Series Paper
Ink: Gumball Green and Lucky Limeade stampin' pads, Jet Black Staz-On inkpad
Other: Cannery Set framelits, In Color Printed Designer brads, White Tea Lace doily, Gumball Green stitched satin ribbon, Basic Black scallop dots ribbon, Whisper White 1/8" taffeta ribbon, stampin' dimensionals, glue dots, paper-piercing tool
The Just Add Ink Design Team have come up with some great "green" projects, as a nod to St Patrick's Day. You can check them out here.
Not a big fan of green but you have enticed me, I love your card and your right that paper is darn cute!
