Whimsy Stamps and Sweet Stampin' ~ Bring on the Shenanigans Again!

Hey crafty friends, I'm back with another fun St Patrick's Day themed card full of cheeky shenanigans and I'm combining my Whimsy Stamps creation with our fun latest challenge at Sweet Stampin'. We are having a St Patrick's Day and Drinks Challenge mash up which we've called 'Bottoms Up'. You need to check out my crafty pal Susan's take on this theme, it's brilliant!! I've used one of the stamp sets I used for the tiny sentiment for my last creation, but this time, I'm using the fun and cheeky leprechaun image combined with more sentiments from that same set.

I ink blended the card base from the bottom left corner diagonally, then I pulled out two Whimsy Stamps sets that had solid shamrock stamps and I used an acrylic block and the fabulous VersaFine Clair Inks in Rain Forest, Spruce and Verdant to add the shamrock details. I stamped the sentiment in Spruce VersaFine Ink. I made the card base with Hammermill 100lb Cardstock as I've run out of my favourite bases, which are the SBC Top Folding A2 Card Bases. So convenient and great quality. But Hammermill works well too.

I popped this cheeky chappy up on foam rounds for a bit of dimension, but this is otherwise a 'one layer' very CAS card. I hope you're having a great week. I'm enjoying some St Paddy's Day fun over on the Whimsy Stamps Facebook Group. If you like Whimsy Stamps, I highly encourage you to join this Facebook Group, it's a wonderful place to visit for inspiration and there are often fun games and promotions for crafty peeps held there.

(I share thumbnails to the elements I design with in order to make your search for them easier, in case you like something I've used. I do use affiliate links where possible and occasionally am paid a small commission. I do not earn affiliate sales from my Whimsy links. This is just for tracking data. It helps the companies I design for to improve their marketing practice and track my contributions. I am deeply grateful if you use them for these reasons. I am proud to design for the companies I do and always feel happy to share where my inspiration and where my crafty stash comes from. I am occasionally gifted products to use, but I only design for companies whose products I absolutely love and buy for myself. My opinions are always my own.)
