Tuesday with Tara {take 37}

Happy Tuesday!  I wanted to share something GREEN in honor of St. Patrick’s Day coming up this week, so I’m sharing this card I made for  my awesome family back in BC.  It’s simple, but has some fun textures I hope you’ll enjoy!

I used the mini globe sizzix die by Tim Holtz, cut from chipboard, painted with Distress Paint and sanded lightly.  I did some finger painting to add some blue to the globe base and Viva Decor Inka Gold to make the land shimmer in green!

The tag was created using Ranger Texture paste through a fun scripty stencil onto a kraft tag.  Once dry, I masked off a section at the bottom (a post it note or piece of low tack washi tape works great!) and inked the entire tag up with some green Distress Ink.  I lifted my mask and stamped the sentiment with black Archival ink.

As you can probably see from the shadows, I cut the ‘land’ from the rest of the die and raised it with foam adhesive.  (I do apologize for the shadows- I forgot to take pictures until I was ready to send this off in the mail and had to work with less than perfect light!)

This last photo is just to show the awesome shimmer you get from the Inka Gold paint.  love that stuff!
