Hello there!
Happy Saturday!
I hope you're doing well.
I have fun news -
I am thrilled to be Guesting at The Color Hues Challenge!
So I guess you can guess by my card --- the colors are Green and White! I knew when Nancy sent me the info, that I wanted to use my shamrock stencil from Scrapbook.com. Then, I decided I needed a little more depth and texture so I stamped the plaid stamp (Catherine Pooler) and cut it half diagonally. I also knew I wanted to use my Seagull die so he could hold a shamrock. And I knew that sentiment and the clovers, from the set Clovers & Blooms (Catherine Pooler) would be perfect. I then added a little gold strip between the two backgrounds, some gold gems for the shamrock centers. Finally, I remembered once everything else was done that I had a hat die from a snowman die set that I turned into a leprechaun hat with a tiny strip of gold on it. I had so much fun making this card. My seagull is a fan of all the seasons and holidays so he is getting lots of attention.

Hi Nance. Your card gave me a belly laugh! I LOVE it. The link on color Hues is not working. The initial "s" in soul is lopped off. Just so you know. Thanks for the sea gull dressed up for St. Paddy's Day.
Nance, your card is an amazing showcase of green and white, with results that have me smiling all over my face! Wonderful that your seagull is a fan of all seasons; talk about versatility! Thrilled to have you as our Guest Designer for this challenge.
