as an unlimited broadcasting station,
through which God speaks to us every hour,
if we will only tune in.

Irish Love











Bonus Sketch




Two Cards for 2S4Y #44.

LUCK O' THE IRISH --

Well, I think I got in just under the wire.  One of these days I will get things done earlier.  However, I am early for the Color Throwdown challenge.  I'm not completely satisfied with the Irish card.  Now that I look at it I did forget one element for the sketch on the bottom.  I was going for something a little quick and started out by making the colors of the Irish flag. I also wanted to use the shamrock stamp alongside my sentiment, but it was too large and since I was running out of time, I chose shamrock gems instead.  Still, it was a fun card to make. 

Stamps:  Shamrock stamp and sentiment.
Paper:  green, orange and white cardstock.
Ink:  Pine.
Extras:  Nestability die, green brads, shamrock gems, green and orange ribbon.


LOVE --

The Love card I like a litlte better.  It is for the bonus challenge.  Although now you cannot see the image on the patterned paper as well, the heart columns I made with a heart punch and gell pen mirror the image of the pink hearts hanging off of green vines.  The color scheme is from Color Throwdown 76.  Again, I had to improvise a little on the colors and get them as close as I could.

Stamps:  NONE!
Paper:  Patterned paper, olive, pale yellow and raspberry cardstock.
Ink:  NONE!
Extras:  heart punch, olive gel pen; Sizzis skittle dee doo alpha die, rapsberry patterned ribbon.

Well, it's late and I'm up as usual, but not for much longer.

Blessings!

They are both pretty...though I think I prefer the Irish card. Love the use of the Irish flag in the background. The colors on the Love card are pretty, too! Time to think about Valentines!!
