Some great St. Patrick’s Day colors from ColourQ today. I paired them with this week’s MDS Monday sketch challenge today, which also includes a subway art component.

I may have said it before, but St. Patrick’s Day is the second biggest holiday at my school, second only to Halloween. The picture below is Eve in second grade with our resident leprechaun.

To create the shamrock background, I used a trick I learned from Alesha Walls. I used a digital stamp of a Lucky Limeade shamrock on a Lucky Limeade background, and then added a drop shadow at 75%. This gives it an embossed look. And yes, I did paste the same shamrock a gazillion times. Thank goodness for copy and paste!
