Seeing Green


Last post I was seeing red, but today - it's all about green! I had a coworker request for several St. Patrick's Day cards, so I headed for my green stash.  I have very few options for these types of cards, but went with Verve's Irish Blessing sentiment for the inside of each card: "May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand". This first card uses layout for MFT's Wednesday Sketch Challenge in the forum on SCS.  I paper pieced the pants and colored the rest with Copics.  P.S. Dang...forgot to add blush to my little Irish gal's cheeks.  Grrr...


This second card is for Jen Shults' Deconstructed Sketch Challenge.  The shamrock was created using SU's "Hearts" Framelits with a freehand cut stem.  I've had the BG "Clovers" paper by Karen Foster Design for years.  The dotted paper is called "Beach Balls" by We R Memory Keepers (the reverse side has multi-colored bright dots...thus the name).

Thanks for stopping by...it's been a challenging morning with getting computer issues resolved!  First, the Wi-Fi in the house stopped working.  Unplugging the wireless router for about a minute and restarting fixed that problem.  When I powered off my iMac yesterday, my Photoshop Elements 11 icon simply vanished from my dock and I couldn't access the software  anywhere!  SO frustrating!  I had an online chat with tech support through PSE and she fixed me up again, so I'm good to go...for now anyway!  I hope those leprechauns quit messing with me and my technical stuff - lol!
