HELLO FRIEND

With St. Patrick's Day coming up quickly, I am bringing you a predominantly green card today. The green is actually Soft Succulent, which is a very subtle green, and not at all the garish green normally associated with St. Patrick's Day, but . . . . 

To make this card requires some careful stamping, but otherwise it's fairly quick and easy to create.

Starting out with a 4" x 4" piece of white cardstock, the challenge comes in lining up the four cute designs from the All Squared Away stamp set (page 117, Annual Catalog) so they all fit nicely into the 4" square. Once that's done, the rest is a piece of cake!

For the sentiment, I used one of the Sale-A-Bration stamps from the Friendly Hello set. I stamped it in Soft Succulent ink upon white cardstock, then fussy cut it, leaving a white margin all around. 

When I finished that, I mounted it to a scrap of Soft Succulent cardstock, then fussy cut that, leaving a nice margin of green.

To finish off the sentiment, I used a Dark Soft Succulent Blend on one of the Basic Rhinestones and added it to the center of the "o". Cutesy, huh?

Using Stampin' Dimensionals, I added it to the center of the four stamped blocks.

Adhered to a 4 1/4" square Soft Succulent card base, my card is finished!

Are you Irish? Whether you are or not, do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in any fashion? How? Not having a drop of Irish blood in my body, and not being a party girl, I may wear something green that day, but that will be about it. 

Friend-ly

Smiles.
