I went digging into my stash for some green dsp and found a few snippets to put this card together. I used a Tim Holtz crazy dog image, coloring him with Copics and fussy cutting him. The little banner was cut with a SU! framelit die, and pierced around the edges using a SU! piercing template. I connected the dots with a Tombow marker to make it show up better on the light green dsp. I stamped the sentiment in chocolate ink and added a tiny candy dot to the top. The chocolate borders were done with a SNSS scalloped border die. For the final touch, I added some glossy accents to his eyes for a little shine!
I'm sharing this with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is "A Bit O' Green"
I'm also sharing it with the Shopping our Stash SOS#294 - Luck O' the Irish - use green
Thanks for stopping by and may you enjoy a wonderful St. Patrick's day whether you're Irish or not. Wearing a little green today might bring you a little bit of good fortune, who knows? Sweet shamrocks to all of you!
