Egg-ceptional Dudley

This was a super quick and easy card to pull together. The card base was already pre-printed with an Easter theme; I had Dudley colored and ready to go; and the strip of bling was at the top of my accessories bucket. I free handed the egg shape to give it even MORE of an Easter feel.

Green and Gold Leprechaun

Here’s another St. Patrick’s Day card I made. I’d printed this image twice and colored him using two different green color schemes. I’m always playing with different Copic color combinations….and forgetting to write them down. Thank goodness I put them on my blog. The problem is when I’m coloring I’m not usually near my computer. Am I the only one who does this? LOL. Here’s my other card using the image. Now I need to get all these cheerful green cards in the mail so I can spread some Irish love!

I have been SO slacking in getting cards posted. As a result I’m WAY behind on the 365 Cards Challenges. I so enjoy them and for the past 3 years have tried to complete them all; it hasn’t happened. So, I’m on a mission to try and get through as many as I can. Thankfully they don’t mind if I combine old challenges with new challenges. Does that mean it pays to be behind? LOL

Thanks for looking!
