Happy St. Patrick's Day! {cards}

Here are two cards I made for St. Particks day. I wanted them to be clean and simple :)

Link With Love Blog Hop {Giveaway Closed}

Thanks for playing along! This giveaway is now closed!
***If you came here from Carolina's blog, you are on the right track. If not, please go to Practical Scrappers for the hop instructions and start from there!***

Welcome to the Practical Scrappers "Linking with Love" Blog Hop!  We believe it is important to always give credit when it is due to another crafter.  For this unique hop all of our design team members used the same inspiration piece to create their project.  Each of them will make an example of themselves as to how to properly "Link with Love" and credit the inspiration.  We'll be running the hop thru Noon EST on Sunday - so you have plenty of time to get thru it!

Liz Qualman created this beautiful layout and we have all used it for inspiration.  Each of us will tell what part we took our inspiration from.  The whole hop will culminate at Liz's blog where she'll provide us with a new sketch for inspiration.

Here is my page. I used a sketch of Liz's layout for my inspiration. I loved the bright, fun colours and the border of circles, so I included them on my page as well.

Many of the designers are providing prizes at their stop and Practical Scrappers is providing a prize for one person who becomes a follower at each stop (for all the details head over to Practical Scrappers).

Yet another entry for the Imaginisce March Challenge (#3)

Yes, I really like doing this challenge, and this may or may not be the last time I make a card for it. 

I just have a lot of fun with these products and this sketch!

 

I made a birthday card for my sister in law.

Close ups of the rhinestones I attached with my i-rock & flowers. This was my first time successfully making these flowers and I love them! I think they will be on a lot of my projects from here on out!

 

I used one of my Snag'em stamps on the inside of the card too and added a little colour. I think it finished it off nicely!

Here's the breakdown:

Paper (excluding card base and leaves) - Imaginisce Enchanted

Rhinestones: Imaginisce Hot Rocks

Ribbon: from my stash

Flowers & Leaves: cut out with my Silhouette machine

Outside Stamp: I'm pretty sure it was just a stamp out of the value bin at Micheals!

Inside Stamp: Snag'em stamp from Imaginisce Enchanted collection

3 Colours - pink, blue, green

3 patterned papers - Princess Promenade, If the Crown Fits, & Mirror, Mirror

3 embellishments -  flower cluster, ribbon, hot rock swirls

I think I will use this sketch over and over even after this contest is finished. I really love it!

Thanks for a fun contest and great sketch Imaginisce!

Another entry for the Imaginisce March Challenge

I wanted to do another entry into Imaginisce's challenge since I just got my new Enchanted collection!
