Seize the Sketch #15
Very quick post today...just wanted to share a card I made for Seize the Sketch #15. I saw the sketch and had an idea I wanted to try. Unfortunately, I started it right before I had to get ready for work and so now I am rushing to get it up and posted while the clock is ticking away. Here's the sketch:
I thought it was a very versatile sketch...almost any stamps or dies could work with it, but I chose to go with all Lil Inker stamps and dies. It's almost St. Patrick's Day and I had all of my green inks out on my desk, so I decided to make my own shamrock. It shouldn't be too hard with all the Lil Inker dies I have collected. Here's what I came up with:
I used several Lil Inker sets today. First, that shamrock...they are hearts from Of the Heart dies. Perfect little shamrock, don't you think? The little stem is a piece punched out from the Fanfare Scalloped Border die. It has just the right size and curve of a stem. The background of my circle element is from Circles and Diamonds Stitched Pattern die and the sentiment is from the Darling Diamonds stamp set. I added some scattered sequins and I think this is a cute card to leave out for my daughter on St. Patrick's Day. What do you think?

Oh, I just love this card. It is so bright and cheery, and you have shown me several new and unique uses for dies I already have. Gotta love a card I can case without shopping first. Perfect for your daughter for St. Patty's day.
