Saturday Blog Hop – Going Green

It’s Saturday and time for the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team Blog Hop!  This week’s theme is Going Green…in honor of St. Patrick’s Day next week.  But, the design team could use anything…as long as the predominant colors on the card were green.  I don’t send out many St. Patrick’s Day cards, but thought I’d send out some to my grandkids.  Of course, when I mailed my Valentine’s Day cards last month all at the SAME time from the SAME place in town, they got them on 3 different days!  Crazy!  I’d better get these out early!

 

 

Here are the details.  I used two greens…Emerald Envy and Cucumber Crush for my Irish theme.

 

• The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Emerald Envy cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
• A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake is on top.
• A 2 x 4 piece of Affectionately Yours Designer Paper is adhered at the bottom, then a 1/4 x 4 strip of Emerald Envy cardstock placed across the top to hide the seam.
• The large bear from Bear Hugs stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White cardstock, then watercolored with the Crumb Cake Ink Pad and AquaPainter.  The ground was watercolored with Emerald Envy Ink.
• It was layered on a 3 x 3-3/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• The hat and bow were stamped with Memento Black on Cucumber Crush, then cut with the Bear Hugs Framelits and added to the bear.
• The greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Emerald Envy cardstock.  The banner from Thoughtful Banners was stamped with Emerald Envy Ink around the greeting.  It was punched with the Banner Punch.  It was added over the bear with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Two stars from the Metallic Enamel Shapes was added to the sides of the banner.
