St Pat's decorations







I cut out a bunch of shamrocks then ran them through different Cuttlebug folders. Next I punched a little hole in each of them, which I reinforced with an eyelet. I used some clear fishing line to hang some shamrocks from the ceiling fan, over the window, and from our mantle.




Before hanging them my husband helped me ink the edges - what a guy!

Canvas subway art


I painted this canvas green and cut some shamrocks for another project (to be seen soon) and used the negatives to paint white shamrocks on top of the green background. While the white paint dried, I cut some St Patrick's Day themed-words in green vinyl. I applied them on top of the painted canvas. I haven't yet decided where it will hang, for now it sits on the window sill over the kitchen sink.
