Top o' the morning to you! Happy St. Patrick's Day! Hope you're wearing green today! (Heck I'm not leaving the house but I'm wearing green anyway!) I'm here to wish you a happy, festive day and hope you find lots of blessings today. I wasn't going to make a card, but yesterday afternoon I got inspired by one of my fav Doodlebug paper collections, and before you know it, I had a card to share today! So this might be a St. Patrick's Day card, or it might be a birthday card for my sweet Lucky kitty! LOL.
Here's an Irish blessing for you today: May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. AMEN!
My card is a white A2 sized card base. I layered the cute rainbow/shamrock paper and then some buffalo check paper for my foundation... No stamping on this card! Just paper, die cuts, stickers and embellishments. Who doesn't love a good rainbow card??
I die cut a white scalloped rectangle to use as my focal point for my design elements - the rainbow and the shamrock. The rainbow is a Doodlepop Sticker that has the clouds and tiny hearts along with it. SO cute!!
The "Lucky" word is a sticker! Nice and easy to just stick it on the card!
I made the shamrock by die cutting out three small hearts and folding them in the middle. Then I glued them to the card and hand cut a small stem. I added a jewel to the center! Voila! A shamrock!
Such a happy and colorful card! There's no denying how much I love Doodlebug and all that beautiful color! Hope it made you smile today! This is a good card layout for just about any occasion.
And here is my sweet boy's birthday portrait! He's so grown up now - a regular man cat! I can't believe he's three years old already! I miss my tiny kitten!! He's been having a luxurious birthday week and don't you worry about him getting spoiled.
That's it for today! Again, Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'll be back soon with another project. Until then - take good care. XOXO
