Happy St. Patrick’s Day! (A day late)

I created this image to post on the blog yesterday but was having so much fun cooking and drinking all day that I forgot. (I was lucky enough to have Tuesday off this year.) I decided that I didn’t want it to go to waste so I’m putting it up today.
The beer glass is the same one I used in a previous project that I featured on the site about Skinit.com cell phone covers. The beer in the glass was originally brown, so I had to mess with it for quite a while to get a good green color. I didn’t think it was going to be as hard as it was.
The woman was created from a photo that I found on Google Images that I then traced to make a sillouette. And I was in the middle of making the post it note, when I remembered that I already had one on my computer somewhere, so why not save time and use it.
I struggled with what color I wanted the background to be for a while. I eventually settled on brown because it didn’t clash with green. Not sure if it is the best color for the background, but I couldn’t come up with any other color I liked better.
Happy St. Patty’s Day! I hope everyone had a safe and fun day.
