Inky Paws Challenge #144 - Sketch Challenge

 Hi everyone!  This is Inky Paws Challenge #144 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, March 26th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  St. Patrick's Day is Wednesday, and I was so excited to create this card and use this adorable stamp set!

To start this card I cut green glitter cardstock to A2 size for a cardbase.  I used the scalloped frame die from NND Frames and Flags die set to cut the patterned paper, and adhered it to my cardbase.  I used one of the banner dies, also from NND Frames and Flags die set, to cut the green glitter and gold glitter banners. 

Next, I used NND Circle Frames die set to cut a piece of smooth white cardstock.  I stamped this super cute image from NND Newton's Pot of Gold stamp set with black pigment ink and clear heat embossed.  I used Nuvo Golden Sparkler Shimmer Powder mixed with water on the coins and hat buckle.  I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to color the rest of my image.  I then mixed Nuvo Falling Leaves Shimmer Powder with water, covered my image, and flicked it onto the background of the circle.  After everything was dry, I stamped and gold heat embossed the "Happy St. Patrick's Day" sentiment, also from NND Newton's Pot of Gold stamp set.  I then used foam tape to pop up the circle for some dimension!
