Leprechauns, Laughter, and Green, OH MY!

Good morning! I have another fun St. Patrick's Day card to share today, I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #214 - March Clovers are Green

Fab n Funky #632 - Shades of Green

Colorful Options - Green or Rainbow

A Perfect Time to Craft March - Anything Goes

Just Us Girls #812 - Stencil Week

For the background, I applied black ink through my Celtic Mask stencil from A Colorful Life Designs (use code JennFan10 for 10% off), then I used a smaller stencil with a similar pattern on another shade of green cardstock. I matted that on a piece of orange cardstock and die cut an orange shamrock to layer behind him. I printed out the leprechaun from Drawn with Character, colored with Copics, Stickles, and a white gel pen, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I added a sentiment from TLC Creations (digi) to finish it off.

jfdlalfa. Peace. 

The Accumulation of Our Memories

 I know February is over, but I have a few cards left to share from the February release at A Colorful Life Designs!

I used the Geometric Butterfly stencil for this card:

You can purchase it at a discount by using code JennFan10 for 10% off - you can also use that code on the Master Creator Bundles, saving you even more!

I had a piece of Yupo paper in my stash that I had previously applied alcohol inks to, and I thought it was perfect for this butterfly stencil. I cut off the piece that had the least ink on it to use for the sentiment, which is a sticker from my stash. I applied Black Soot Distress Oxide ink through the Geometric Butterfly stencil and gently/carefully embossed it with clear embossing powder (if you put too much heat on the Yupo paper, it buckles).

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Lil Red Wagon - L is for Leftovers (use your stash)

Triple B - Birds, Butterflies, Blooms

Dragonfly Dreams - Butterflies

Classic Design Challenge - Anything Goes/Optional Blooms or Butterflies

Just Add Ink #780 - Stencils, Dies, or Both

Peace.

Just Add Ink #780 - Stencils, Dies, or Both

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #214 March - Clovers are Green

Papers are from Unity Stamp Co. I stamped the girl from The Greeting Farm's Signature set (retired - circa @2008???) with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, flicked some gold around her, and added some green rhinestone stickers. I added a SO LUCKY sticker sentiment and a cauldron die cut filled with Platinum Stickles. Peace.

Big Music - A Colorful Life Designs March Release

Gooooood morning!  March came quickly, didn't it?!?  We have a gorgeous new stencil release for you at:

The stencil I used for today's project is called Music Love:

You can also purchase it in the Master Creator Bundle at a discounted price here - and don't forget to add discount code JennFan10 for an additional 10% off!

I created the background by blending Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, and Villainous Potion Oxide Inks through my Music Love stencil. I then dragged the edges through the Villainous Potion ink pad. I printed out Song from Krista Smith, colored her with Copics and a white gel pen and used a stitched edge rectangle die to cut her out. I applied the smaller part of the same stencil to the sides of her with Villainous Potion and embossed it. I then sponged some Twisted Citron around her and on the edges of that panel.
