Crafty Girls Corner Challenge #217 'Make it green'

 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.

I hope that you have a wonderful St. Patricks' Day celebration.  In Oregon,  no celebrating until we have more people vaccinated against Covid-19.  

So I wish you health and the brightest blessings!
