Fishing Donald - Wearing the Green

Our challenge at Delightful Challenges is "Wearing of the Green".  I decided to make a masculine card rather than another St. Patrick's Day card.  I'm using Fishing Donald from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

All of the papers are from my craft stash.  I used Spellbinders Labels 11 for the mats and an Inky Antics stamp for the fish background.  I haven't decided on a sentiment yet.

You're invited to join our Wearing of the Green challenge.  

Just link your card to the Delightful Challenges blog.  You do not have to use a Digital Delights image, any project that goes with the theme is accepted.

This week's prize sponsor is our own

Joining the Pop Up Box Craze

Good Morning Crafty Friends,
I spent the entire day yesterday at a crop at my favorite Scrapbook Store.  I teach classes there and was working on a project for my Copic class ladies.  Along with the lesson, I try to find something fun and new for them to do so I decided to hop on the Pop Up Box Card wagon.  My ladies will be using their Copics for each of the elements.  What do you think??

I think they'll enjoy assembling this card, especially since I have everything pre-cut LOL.  I can see why so many crafters are making these cards.  They can become addictive!!!
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Color Me Creative:  #87 Anything Goes Digi Galore:  Things with Wings Pumpkin Spice:  #60 Flowers
Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.  Thanks for stopping by.  I always love it when you take the time to leave a comment and/or become a follower.

Let's Party!

It's design team day at Delightful Challenges.  Our theme this week is ADD A FLOURISH. I'm using Top Hat n Tails Slippy and the Let's Party sentiment from Digital Delights by Louby Loo.

My flourish is a stamp (don't know what company).  I matted Slippy using Spellbinders Labels 18 and colored him with Copics.  I also used Copics for the marbleized background adding some white gel pen flourishes.  A strip of Washi tape finished the card.
