Shamrock

Faith and begorrah!  There's always something about a white and lacy piece of cardstock that seems to work so well for St Patrick's Day themes . . .

 . . . and some textured gold embossing doesn't hurt either.  What do you think?

Happy St Patrick's Day!

Some of the lovely things that Ireland is noted for are metal work, gorgeous lace, shamrocks, and the color green . . .

 . . . all of which I attempted to portray in this layout.  Happy St Patrick's Day . . . and  don't forget to wear green so you can avoid getting pinched!  Or aren't they doing that anymore?

Irish art forms include many more accomplishments than green beer!   So I decided to see if I could incorporate some of these in my card for today.  So far I came up with four:  woven fabric (tweed border), stitchery (the embroidered star trim), metal working (the gold accents), and language (various word stamps).  I hope you enjoy the results, even though I couldn’t fit in any green beer.  Probably just as well . . .

Top O’ the Mornin’ to Ye!  And the afternoon and evening as well!  Look out for the Leprechauns and keep your eyes open for that lovely pot of gold:  you’ll need it in order to buy gas this summer, if all of the dire predictions turn out to be correct. 
I think I’ll just stay home and stamp . . .
