I rummaged through my large assortment of embossing folders and found this Spellbinders M-Bossabilities that I haven't used in ages. It's called "Letterpress" and I thought it would make a good background for some shamrocks to make a St. Patrick's day card. I used Taylored Expressions dies with 3 different colors of green cardstock to make the shamrocks, and then used a paper punch with some gold mirror card to make the centers. The inside looks like this:
I will share my card with these challenges:
Shopping our Stash SOS516 - It's Not Easy Being Green
Can You Handle the Pressure February Challenge - A/G using an EF
with an optional twist of squares and/or circles.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you the best possible day today.

A wonderful St. Patty's card! That embossing folder is so pretty and reminds me of a baroque style and you're right about it going great with those cute little shamrocks! Love the added gold and the sentiment is a good one for this theme! It's very cold and windy here today! Hope you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGuess it must be getting close, we have Mothering Sunday next week so I figure it's soon after. So effective with the shamrock laid over the embossed panel.
