100% Irish Bear

     Friday means a new challenge at QKR Stampede and you should all know by now how much I love their images!  This week the theme is "Bring on the Green" so I had to do another St. Patrick's card in honor of both my heritage and my St. Paddy's birthday.  :-D  (Digi 10003 - Irish Bear & Digi 16907 -100% Irish)


I took inspiration from the photo at {Pin}spirational.

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/141581982011762346/

     I used ProMarkers to color the image which was printed onto the card front for a single layer, CAS card.  The only embellishment I added were the three die cut flowers and the gems in the middle of them.  I really wanted the image to say it all and I think it does.

     Won't you please come play with us at QKR Stampede this week?  All we want to see is some green on your card and how hard can that be?  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie

Great card and I love that it is a single layer card. Sometimes that is so hard to do, but you've done it nicely. Enjoy your weekend.

I love those three little kitties at the top. Long time ago I had a white one and honestly she lived 23 years and she had a blue eye and a green eye and I call for messy I'd really loves her. I do have to say your little card is just darling your bear is so cute it works perfect as a clean and simple card. I have to try and stop by more often. So you have 100% does that mean that you are all Irish or is that mean the little bear is Irish?
Hug,Pat/♥
