CD Sunday Plus Challenge Time!

 St. Patrick's Day Greetings to you!
Hope your weekend is going well.
A rainy weekend here for us.
It's time for Challenge #129 at CD Sunday Plus.
My Teamie Margaret is hosting this go around.
The challenge is fortnightly beginning every other Sunday and ending the Saturday before the next challenge.
You must use a CD, USB or Digital image somewhere on your make, which must be a physical creation. And please tell us the image source. Complete rules are listed on the challenge blog sidebar.

And here is my inspiration make, using this pre-colored digital image from The Paper Shelter:
I printed it out on Springhill Digital card.

 
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my A2 layout design.

The card base is Kraft card and then a layer of black and a green embossed layer made with a Cuttlebug Moroccan embossing folder. A vertical orange strip of card scrap and some black felt lace on that. I used a corner punch on both layers.
And finally the image layer framed in black, with a Stamplorations stamped and die cut sentiment on orange card and Nocturne VFClair Nocturne ink, and a cluster in the top right corner made from green scrap card, a large shamrock punch and tiny Memory Box Lucky Charm die cuts.
The gold, his buckles and buttons, and the shamrock centers were all accented with a gold Stardust glitter gel pen to finish.

 
The back of the card has the same 2 bottom layers as the front, again using the embossing folder, a scrap of black and a stamped Hero Arts siggie cut with an Avery Elle Signature seal die.
Inside I printed out a Power Poppy digital sentiment and added an Impression Obsession die cut from green scrap card.

An angled shot to show the glitter from the gel penning.

And final view.
This went to our daughter and son-in-love.
Come play with us at CD Sunday Plus Challenge if you get the chance!
Thank you very much for the visit and have a great day.
Be sure to wear green so you don't get pinched!

Wow! Layer upon layer of delights in your SPD card!! Brilliant thinking for the Moroccan tile because it makes me think of Celtic knot kind of look, so excellent usage of your supplies! Thanks for sharing at these blogs I'm connected with: MTTC, HQFCB, and HQCOLCB! --Becca

So bright and colourful Aimes. I am afraid St Patrick's Day isn't something I celebrate personally - even with a surname like mine but I love to all the cards and images. I am sure your daughter and son-in-love (love that) loved the cards.

He looks like he's very happy sat there. A lovely colourful card, the corner punches are a lovely touch. I love the font of the sentiment inside too.
