Happy St. Patrick's Day

Welcome to a new challenge at Pattie’s Creations Challenge Blog! As always, the theme is Anything Goes. For my DT card, I couldn't resist using the Leprechaun Hat with Shamrocks digital image to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Being an Irish gal, this one was a must! I had so much fun bringing a little extra luck and charm to my creation this month! 🍀


I started by downloading the image and coloring it with Copic Markers. Once colored, I used my Scan N Cut machine to carefully cut it out. 

For the background, I added texture by dry embossing a white panel with the Cable Knit Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! It reminded me of the classic Irish Aran sweater, with its cozy, knitted texture.


I adhered the embossed panel to a white A2 card base and popped the images up on foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was heat embossed with gold embossing powder to give it a rich, shiny finish. To complete the design, I scattered a few gold sequins for that perfect touch of sparkle and shine.


Thanks so much for stopping by! Don’t forget to head over to the blog to explore all the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team. Wishing you a wonderful and crafty day!
