Top of the Mornin' to Ya! (AGAIN!)
I mentioned earlier that I have a couple of cards to share with you today, and they are both of the 'Irish' influence. My hubby is Irish ... his mom (God Rest Her Soul) was 100% Irish ... her parents last names were Gallagher & McDermott ... doesn't get much more Irish than that! LOL
Anyways ... on to my card share.
The new challenge at Joan's Gardens is to use
Green & White,
an Oval shape,
an embossing folder (inked inside or not)
and something from Joan's Gardens.
I am not a cat lover but I have several friends who are so I made this card with them in mind! How cute is this cat family die! It's from Cheery Lynn Designs and is #B417. The embossing folder I used today came from Joan's Gardens and is a Sizzix Tim Holtz Alterations folder (sorry don't have the number). I did as Joan had suggested and inked up the inside of the folder (using Memento 'bamboo leaves' ink) before running it through my embossing machine.
Other elements used on this card are:
SU print pack dp, Green polka dot grosgrain ribbon, pop dots, Green ZIG pen for faux stitching
Spellbinder classic oval dies, and JustRite 'Large Fancy Sentiments' (also from Joan's Gardens).
A few challenges to share my creation with:
