A Little Irish Luck! ~ Irish Luck ~ Penny Black

 Happy St. Paddy's Day, crafty friend!

I hope you have a wonderful St. Paddy's Day! It's always a fun day at our house and I look forward to it each year. Today, I have a cute CAS St. Paddy's Day card to share.

I stamped the adorable bear from the Irish Luck stamp set from Penny Black with Gina K. Black Amalgam ink and colored him up with the following Copic Markers:

Fur ~ E21, E23, E25, E27, R0000, R20, R22

Tie / Shirt ~ R14, R27, YG11, YG13

Vest ~ YG11, YG13, YG63, YG97

Hat ~ N1, N3, N5, Y06, Y15, Y35, Y28, YG11, YG13, YG63, YG97

Shamrocks ~ YG11, C00

Banner ~ YG11, YG13, YG63

Once I was done coloring I fussy cut the bear and then stamped the banner sentiment. I colored it up and then fussy cut it. I cleaned up the edges by coloring them with a Memento Tuxedo black marker. I adhered the banner sentiment to the bear and set it aside.

I ink smooshed a white card front measuring 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" into a bit of Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks cleaning up my glass mat between colors. I kept my card CAS by leaving a lot of white space. I blended some Forest Moss Distress Oxide ink over the circle design on the Quattro Motifs stencil from The Craft Workshop. 

I trimmed the card front to 4-1/8 x 5-3/8" and stamped the "A little" sentiment directly on the card front. I adhered the card front to a white A2 top fold card base. I popped up the bear and sentiment with foam tape. I think it turned out pretty cute. 

I'm entering my card in the challenge over at the CASology blog for the fun HAT cue.
