Welcome! Today I'm sharing a DT card I made for the newest challenge at Crafting with an Attitude. Our theme is "Anything Goes" (as always) and we're being sponsored by Digi Doodle Studios. They generously supplied images for the DT to use, and I chose "Pepper Bella Flora."
Although she wasn't intended to be a St. Patrick's image, I colored her in greens (all pulled from their challenge color palette - see below) and suddenly she passes for an Irish fairy! Isn't she adorable?
I colored the image with ProMarkers, and each of the gold flowers has a center made with golden Nuvo Crystal Drops. The image and the darker frame are each cut with dies from Cottage Cutz, one stitched and the other pinpoint. The lighter green square behind those was cut with a stitched, square die from Lawn Fawn. The lattice piece was cut with one of my newest dies, one from the Memory Box "Distressed Windham Collage" set.
I printed the sentiment and used one of smaller Cottage Cutz dies to cut it, adjusting the die after I cut the top edge so that I could cut the bottom edge. The die is actually square (with rounded corners) but I managed to get that shape for the sentiment piece simply by moving the die and cutting twice. I matted that piece with green CS, hand cut it and added it to the lower corner of the card front.

Although she wasn't intended to be a St. Patrick's image, I colored her in greens (all pulled from their challenge color palette - see below) and suddenly she passes for an Irish fairy! Isn't she adorable?
Here's the Digi Doodles color palette for their challenge.
I used all the greens and the palest pink for her skin,
plus bits of gold here and there.
