St. Patrick's Day Mini Slimline Card

I knew I wanted to try using 'THAT paper**' to create a St. Patricks Day card and I'm happy I did! Starting with a green card base, I die cut the patterned paper** with a die from Taylored Expressions then backed the windows with a strip of white cardstock. 

The Shamrock (Riley & Company) was cut from a scrap of a glossy green cardstock and I filled the openings with Nuvo Glaze topped with chunky glitter. The sentiments are also from Taylored Expressions.

Inside I added Karen Burniston's Happy St. Patrick's Day and added some shadowing to the lower part of the words with a marker. Before adhering it to a white panel, I added some blue ink with a blending brush. I like the way it lt looks behind a word die.

** THAT paper is from Hobby Lobby, and was used so frequently by a card designer called Bette Manning that the Facebook Group called Stamp Junkies just started referring to it as 'THAT paper'. We don't have Hobby Lobby in Canada, but a lovely lady sent me some as a Random Act of Kindness so I could join in and play as well. I absolutely love this paper and she sent me enough sheets that I don't even have to hoard it! (Thanks again Marilyn!!)

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
