Happy St Patrick's Day

This is the current sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches


I made my card and went to upload it and saw everything was green so I re-read the challenge post and yes there was a twist - Monochromatic Green! So I started again using a digikit I won from Digiscrapkits. I've laid it out in Craft Artist then printed off the elements separately and put them together. I love doing this as it saves printing a whole sheet of backing paper when you only need a small piece and you can match the colours of anything you've used. I've added some leaves cut with a Sizzlit die from a clover leaf backing paper. I suppose the beer glass should be back for Guinness but this reminds me of a beer called Sign Of Spring by Stonehenge Ales (previously Bunces) which really is green!

I'm also entering this into the challenge at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog which is Green & /or St Patrick's Day
