Greetings! So glad you could visit today. Got a question. Have you ever really noticed how many shades and tints of green there are? I was riding with my daughter to go shopping up north. I kept looking out the window. "Mom, what's so interesting out the window?" said daughter. "I am noticing how many different shades of green there are in spring." I said. So your homework for this month is to look around at the spring (or fall) colors and really notice them. You will be amazed! Now let's see who our sponsor(s) are for this month.

Now on to my project. I selected an image from Bugaboo Stamps called Peeker March. Here is my 'make it green' creation.
 |
| I have made s slim-line diagonal cut card base. You can find the pattern over at Splitcoast Stampers. I have used American Crafts card and Shamrock paper. I colored the Leprechaun with Prismacolor Pencils. The pots of gold are print and cuts. The card uses a belly band as a closure. |
 |
| Close up of the leprechaun. I cut him out with a border of 1/4" and then made a shadow cut of 1/4" larger as shown with the lime green sparkle paper. Then I cut a 11" x 1" strip to make the band and attached it to the back of the Leprechaun. |
 |
| Here is the card without the band. |
 |
| The inside. The Shamrocks are clipart. Words from dafont.com and printed with Sure Cuts A Lots 5.054 software. |
 |
| This is actually the back of the card. I had a few leftovers so I put them on the back. This way I can write a short note. |
So I wish you health and the brightest blessings!
