It's Monday again, and time for another great challenge at The Kraft Journal Challenge Blog where this week, the theme is "Lucky Green". So, what I did was "Google" the words vintage St. Patrick's Day images, and I was delighted with all the darling images that were available out there FOR FREE! I bought a package of printer-ready canvas and printed the image onto canvas, and then cut it using pinking shears. To make my card, I started with a Lunch Bag Kraft Notecard and adhered a piece of Kelly Green cardstock to that. Let me just say that these Lunch Bag Kraft Notecards are WONDERFUL! They come in various sizes, and are a great value for the money (cheaper than at Michael's and better quality, too!). Next, I attached the canvas image to the green cardstock. You can also get plenty of cute Canvas Pieces at The Kraft Outlet to embellish your projects. Next, I added several vintage buttons that I tied with brown and green Baker's Twine. The bow on my card was made using more of the Baker's Twine, some jute, and Natural Twill Tape. I also accented my bow with a Tim Holtz Memo Pin that I dolled up using Jan DelBone's super cute Glitter Stick Pin Tutorial. Here is my "Lucky Green" card:
