St. Patrick's Day in America is the one day each year when everyone wants to be Irish (or at least join in the parties which flourish.) I have the honor of actually having an Irish heritage along with celebrating my birthday each March 17th. Life is good! :-D
When I saw this darling March Hedgie with his shamrocks from Bugaboo Stamps, I grabbed it right away.
I started by coloring the image with my ProMarkers , then I cut it with an octagon die from Spellbinders. I inked the edges with a ProMarker. I dug through my stash of green papers until I found that gorgeous plaid. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the perfect paper for a monochromatic, green, St. Patrick's card. I checked my basket of scraps and found the striped paper which went across the middle.
I printed, hand cut, and inked the sentiment before applying it. The final touch was the quadruple loop bow which I made using my bow maker.
