Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I did say that I intended to make some A2 sized St. Patrick's Day cards and so here I am sharing these cards.  I used the Art Impressions Sham-rock stamp set, Watercolor Elves stamp set and the watercolor foliage stamps, just like the cards made with Brandy during our crafty session.  I don't have the Tombow markers, so I used my Distress Ink to make these cards.  The colors aren't a direct match, but I think it works!  The technique is the same as Kendra shared in her video. 

The backgrounds are ink blended using Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide Inks which matches quite well.  I'm so happy and considering my favorite color is green, I'm practically an adopted Irishman for the day!  Hope your celebrations are happy!

Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Making a St. Patrick's Day Wreath Card

Brandy and I watched Kendra from Art Impressions in this video and were simply enchanted by her combination of the Art Impressions Sham-rock stamp set, Watercolor Elves stamp set and the watercolor foliage stamps.  Brandy has a set of the Tombow watercolor markers and so it was a make session using the techniques from Kendra's video.  These cards are the result of that fun crafty time.  I tried to mostly follow Kendra's technique, though I did add some yellow dots rather than using the green like Kendra.  I am so very pleased with how these turned out - pretty and fun and I intend to mail these out to celebrate this week.  Hence the quick photography and blog post.

I do intended to make a few more cards using the same technique but attempting to fit into an A2 size cards.  Stay tuned.
