I'm Seeing Green...and a HoeDown!

It's Hoedown time again!!! This week's Hambo image is an adorable little hamster leprechaun...check him out! I also submitted this card to The Sisterhood of Crafters challenge to create a St. Patrick's Day card.

The challenge was to use this cute image plus lots of GOLD! Unfortunately, I had used up all of my gold coins on previous St. Patrick's Day projects. For this card, I used gold lame ribbon, a gold Spica pin, and gold metallic paper. Not as much gold as I would have preferred but he IS cute!!

Stamps: digi-image from Hambo Stamps, horseshoe from Bombshell Stamps
Cardstock: Green Galore, gold metallic (Stampin' Up!), GP110 white
Patterned paper: Basic Grey
Accessories: Copic Markers, Cuttlebug, Nestabilities oval- plain and scalloped, scalloped circle, 1-3/4" and 1-1/4" circle punches (Stampin' Up!), gold Spica pen, gold lame ribbon (Michael's), pop dots, cotton swab, Pretty In Pink Classic Ink (Stampin' Up!) for his cheeks

This next card is made using a digi image from 2 Cute Rubber Stamps. She was looking for several people to create cards using her images for posting to her store. This is one of the images that she sent me. Isn't he cute??

  4. Mary, these are both so cute! I love the little horseshoe with the hamster! When I first read your post, I thought you were saying your ribbon was "lame" (silent e) instead of "la-may"! I was thinking "Why does she think it's lame? It's cool!" hahaha

    Thanks for playing in the Hoedown again this week!
