KSS Monday

How quickly time flies when we're having fun. Today is the last day of January and today will be my last post as KSS Guest Designer. It certainly has been a fun month starting with the grand opening of the forum and gallery.
I created my card using several of the weekly challenges as my focus. I will start by saying that this was NOT a 10 minute or less card, as I am somewhat circle-challenged. I started with Connie's Friday sketch challenge. I used Lisa's Stock up on Occasions theme of St. Patrick's Day (added a few Good Luck items). As for Makiko's Make It Glamorous with Glitter challenge, I used a bit of bling instead of glitter. Does that count? Julie's Word of the Week is "Live". I figured that with a green beer, we could live it up in celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
Now to my card. It is an actual circle card. I used stamps from Multi-Step Cup of Warm Comfort, Multi-Step Shamrocks and Clover, Multi-Step Lucky Horseshoe, and Ready 4 any Holiday. The background layer is stamped all over with the large and the small shamrock. The square sentiment layer is stamped in Bottle. The narrow rectangle layer has rows of green rhinestone at each end. On the circle, image layer I stamped the green beer and masked it so I could stamp the two horseshoes. Notice that they are open at the top so they can catch the good luck and not spill it. The horseshoes have tiny beads attached for the nails. The beer has a fluffy foam mady with a Diva ice white pearl pen. It almost looks good enough to drink.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you will visit the other Design Team Members to see what wonderful creations they have made.
