Today I'm sharing a St. Patrick's Day card I made this weekend for a sketch challenge.
For this challenge I selected Sweet 'n Sassy's Lucky Bear digital package. Here's my completed card and then a little about creating it.
Here's the sketch we were given for the challenge.
I started by printing the bear about 2 1/2" tall, the sentiment, and several random digital clover leaves to use as the circle embellishments. I used my Copic markers for all the coloring and the selections are listed below for your reference.
The completed bear is hand cut leaving a little white space so he would not fade into the background. I used a miscellaneous stitched circle die to cut the clover.
Next I selected a light yellow 5 1/2" card base and added the green patterned paper background. Then I secured the dark green banner tag and spaced the clover circles down the right edge. After trimming the sentiment, I added it in the bottom right corner. Lastly, time for the lucky bear. Before securing him to the card base, I added 3 foam squares under his hat, head and raised arm. Then I added the glue adhesive to his body and legs and placed him on the banner.
