I have only recently discovered this stamp company called Waltzing Mouse Stamps. The owner is a great (and fun) Irish gal (who yes, does live in Ireland - oh to be able to visit that country on day). Several of her stamps work with several of the different Nesties (one of the newest being the eggs). In honor of her hertitage, WMS is hosting a St. Patty's Day Customer Blog Hop.I decided to go with a CAS kind of card for this image as I really wanted the image to be the focal point. I really like this digi image she created for those of us who haven't yet been able to get some of her stamp sets yet. I am still working on my copic coloring of greens, but I thought this turned out pretty good as a start. The saying came with the image and I printed it on my card base and then went over it with a nice green to make it stand out.
challenges used: CAS - sketch
Fussy and Fancy - green
stamp challenges - cream/green
cute card thursday - celebration
crazy 4 challenges - masculine
Hope stamp Eternal - cupcake inspired
Cupcake Craft Challenge - going green
Digital Tuesday - St. Patty's Day/green
Little Red Wagon - use copics
Bee Crafty - spring (St. Patty's day is one of the celebrations that kicks off spring for me)
