The Color Challenge colors today are perfect for a St. Patrickâs Day card.
For my card, I thought this cute little dancer would look good paired w/ the Hat Full of Shamrocks in the window behind her. After coloring the hat, I die cut a white & a green frame & cut a window in the top. The greeting & Shamrock Vine Corner images were stamped & the little Jazz Dancer was fussy cut & added on top. I used a gold glitter gel pen to add a little sparkle to the fringe on her skirt & shoes.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Super cute, Julie! Your dancer girl reminds me of Irish dancers we saw at a St. Patrick's Day event in Chicago years ago. Love the shades of green you achieved on your coloring. Wonderful card! TFS

First, love your die-cut, embossed framing. Outstanding coloring as always...love your little Irish dancer. Love your top hat full of three-leaf clovers...there must be at least one four-leaf among them!!!

What a fun Irish card! It makes me want to get up and dance a jig! But I'm too old for much dancing anymore. I agree with Carlene - those dies cut a great frame. Your coloring is always spot on! The little corner pattern pieces are a wonderful accent as well!
