Here's my card for the Cards in Envy challenge which is "think green." The cards for this challenge must be an A2 size, and fit flatly into an envelope. I used the OWH sketch #214 since it makes such great use of all those snippets I have lying around. I just sorted through my stash, pulling out assorted green dsp and cut them into random-sized strips, adding some black and pear pizzazz card stock. I punched a black star, and then assembled a "shamrock" made out of SU! owl punch stars, and added a Geo Sparkler sticker to the center. The embossing was done with a CB ef and the sentiment is by SU!
Have a fantastic Thursday and thanks so much for stopping by!

Be still my beating heart! Actually, don't cuz that wouldn't mean I'm dead. Then I wouldn't be able to admire these wonderful cards. I love them both. I like the design of the St. Pat's one and may have to try something similar as I'm not feeling the love from the few Patty's stamps I have. The other one is so pretty and frilly.
ReplyDeleteYou're so good at matching all those snippets. I cheated and used a piece of striped paper......
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fantastic! The Mother's Day card is striking with those colors and I'm in love with that embossing...gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSuper cards, Carol. I love that embossing folder on the first one. How wonderful for a mom to receive your second card. I'm sure it will do her heart good.
ReplyDeleteWow! What great St. Pat's day cards! I am getting behind on those I need, so I'll have to take these designs to heart. So pretty and love that you were able to use a lot of snippet strips too. You should go play with Parsnip at the Playground! Each of these is a real jewel. Love 'em! TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards I love the star and the embossing on the second card is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day

I have been coloring images for Patty cards, but I sure like your idea better. Great snippet card. As for the second card, I love the blue and green combo! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou have two great cards here, Carol! I really like the embossing on the St. Patrick's Day card, and as you said, that sketch is a super way to use up scraps. Thanks for sharing it with us at Cards in Envy! The Mother's Day card is really pretty, too - I love the paisley paper!
