I Be-Leaf in You – Inky Paws 217

Hello and welcome back!

Today is the start of a new Inky Paws Challenge and it is all about the color GREEN! This challenge is the perfect way to kick off your spring card making! Link a photo of your lucky green projects to the Inky Paws Blog for a chance to win $20 to the Newton’s Nook Online Store!

For my card today, I created a shamrock-inspired card using a small heart die and lots of patterned paper. Here are the products I used:

Newton’s Nook Heart Frames Die Set

Newton’s Nook A7 Frames and Banners Die Set

Newton’s Nook Newton’s Hanging Basket Stamp Set (sentiment)

Newton’s Nook A Cat’s Life Paper Pad (polka dot paper)

Newton’s Nook Spring Blooms Paper Pad (gingham paper)

Newton’s Nook Meowy Christmas Paper Pad (stripes)

I made my shamrock background by cutting out a bunch of hearts using the smallest heart die in the set out of the pieces of patterned paper. To create the shamrocks, I put four hearts of the same pattern together, with the bottoms connected. I created a bunch of the shamrocks and glued them to a white, A2 card base.

For the sentiment, I die cut a banner out of white paper and stamped the sentiment, “I be-leaf in you” on it in black ink. To finish it off, I added some green gems from my stash.
