Anne is our new hostess for June, over at CCEE Stampers. For her first challenge, she must have been doing a little research ;-) as this is what she says: The first Monday in June is Bank Holiday in Ireland. In honor of our member from the Emerald Isle, please make a card using cash, coins or green.
Monday was indeed a Bank Holiday (these days just a public holiday for most people, originally what it says on the tin!). I don't believe I have any cash-related stamps, and while I have plenty of fun designs for dollar bill origami, the smallest dollar denomination available from the banks here is $20, and our notes (bills) are a totally different proportion.
So - green it is.
Magical masking tape for the base, stamped, image coloured with pencils, highlighted with a white gel pen and Glossy Accents added to the berries. I added some Liquid Pearls, and then trimmed the layer down slightly, sponged the edges with green and added it to a card base.
If you want to flash the cash or go green, be sure to share your card on the blog or in the gallery here using the keyword.

This looks wonderful Sabrina. I love the illusion of layers and the mixed media feel to it. I have never heard of magical masking tape, I have a feeling that your card is about to cost me more money LOL.
