A while ago, Mitzi, the genius behind Aurora Wings images, introduced this adorable Shamrock Sprite (Etsy) or (Aurorawings.com) 🙂 I just can’t seem to get enough of these fabulous whimsical little beings! I do cards for a nearby school’s social committee, and always need good bye and good luck cards at the end of the school year, so I like to be prepared, rather than turning into a crazed card-making machine in June!! This little sweetie was a perfect image for such a card <3 I colored her up with Copic and SN markers, then added some sparkle with a gold gel pen, and some gold inking on the distressed edges.
I went through my scraps of paper and found a few different greens to layer up on this card. I swear, the scraps seem to be reproducing overnight, as I thought I would see a lessening in the pile by now!!! I used some even smaller scraps to die cut a bunch of shamrock leaves, some of which I tied into a bouquet with a small white bow. For a sentiment, I turned to my Cricut, and the Essentials preloaded cut, and a piece of gold mirror card. To carry a bit more shiny gold through the card design, I used some gold studs that I purchased at a local sewing store.
