Hi, friends! 'Tis the month for green and even though St. Pat's day has come and gone, here at Double D we're still enjoying the color and a few other things normally associated with the day. Green/clover/shamrocks/luck -- they deserve more time!
When I was little my brother and I spent plenty of time on a sunny day searching through a clover patch for that lucky four-leafer... feel the sun, smell the fresh green, savor the companionship. Of course, it was commonplace then, but it's a cherished precious memory now.
Every day we make new memories and this little Mudpie House Mouse is one of mine. When I first started stamping -- way back near the turn of this century -- my son gifted me a few carefully selected woodblock stamps for my birthday. They mean a lot to me and I'll never purge them from my collection. I had a good time coloring with Copics and playing with paper from the Memory Box 2023 Magnolia collection.
I punched hearts for some shamrock embellishments. Added gold pearls, trim, and sentiment to coordinate with the gold in the patterned paper. Cut a layered scallop with Fiskars Paper Edgers (scissors). Does anybody still have those?
I mixed up the sentiments and I think it's okay. It's my intention to use this as a birthday card with a sentiment inside that brings it all together.
Come join us on the Double D blog. Read more details and see the prize. The team has some fabulous cards to show you. It'll be fun!
Take care of yourselves and I'll see you again soon!
