CRAFT Challenge Blog 746

 Hi Friends!

The first CRAFT Challenge Blog of 2025 is here. This year they will happen every other week instead of weekly as there have been some changes from our leaders. 

You can view all the Design Team inspiration and enter for yourself if you would like right here: CRAFT Challenge Blog

This week's challenge theme is: anything goes

The sponsor of the design I am using is: Colour of Love

The design I used is: Tins of Love

 I prefer to use colored pencils for detailed designs like this as opposed to markers. I used an Oz themed stamp set for the senitment.

 Give it a try!

Papers are just from my collection. I always grab from my scraps first and I don’t keep track of where they came from.

I love all the holidays, even if they are outside of my culture. St. Patrick's Day is one of them. I'm not Irish and you don't really need to be to celebrate the day. Some drink green beer or have green treats or even just wear green. I love whimsy and I bring that out with holidays. 

I made a St. Patrick's themed card for good luck. It can be for the holiday or even someone getting a new job or moving this time of year. 

I started off choosing the largest clover from my little bag of St. Paddy ephemera that is filled with pieces left over from projects in the past. I have these bags for different holidays and themes. They are easy to pull out when I need them. 

I have an old stack of Doodlebug St. Patrick's paper that I took the rainbow paper from. I coated it with Brutus Monroe Giltter Glaze in Fallen Snow to add some sparkle. Once dry, I ran it through with a Darice embossing folder called St. Pat's Background that puts clover and shamrock impressions on the background. I try to use many things I already have so sometimes I can't guide you to the product if you like what you see. I strongly encourage you to use the things you may have too. 

 

I cut out the leprechaun silhouette with my ** Silhouette Studio Software and Silhouette Cameo by using Design #55549 from Silhouette Studio. I attached it with some dimensional adhesive. 

Inside sentiment: Good Luck!
