Today it's all about the Shamrocks and wearing of the green because it's St. Patrick's Day. I embossed a white panel with a Spellbinders LetterPress Embossabilities folder and gathered up all my tiny bits of green cardstock and die-cut lots of shamrocks with a TE die, placing them on the circle portions of the embossed design. I dotted each shamrock with green glitter stickles to make it a bit festive. I liked this just as it is and decided to add the sentiment inside.
I'm heading over to the Snippets Playground #476 with this card, since all those tiny shamrocks were cut from snippets of green.
Thanks for stopping by and may your day bring you good luck always!

Such dedication to your green snippets Carol! FAB embossed background and a great idea to use the pattern for placement of the shamrocks. Sometimes it's best to let the card front shine and add the sentiment inside!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for a Guinness or two later. Raining here . . . so indoor activities only! No running and skipping around the playground today! xxx
Great topical card and certainly just right for the Playground with all of those green snippets used. What patience you must have to not only place them all on the embossed panel but to add a glitter sticker to each 😊. Good job you made this before sampling the Guinness which I heard is on offer today from Sarn's satchel.
ReplyDeleteI just love this, Carol! The embossed white panel is perfect and then throw the shamrocks on top for a super fun St Patrick's Day card! This one greets me everyday as it is sitting on my tv stand. It just makes me smile! Thank you! Happy St Patrick's Day, my friend! :)
ReplyDeleteHow FAB is this Carol love the embossed background and those lovely Shamrocks a super card

What a gorgeous card! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done card Carol!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, I like how the shamrocks are different colors and textures since you used snippets!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Carol! I'm one quarter Irish - from my Mama being half Irish - and yet, sadly, we don't tend to celebrate it around where I live now in the South of England. Most Irish immigrants either headed to the USA or the North of England, which is where my roots are. I clearly recall being on a Computing Degree Revision Week at Cheltenham during Race Week and the Gold Cup race of course. It was manic. half drunk, but never unpleasant, Irish guys were sleeping all over the place I was staying in! NOT in my room though!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Carol!! Such clever idea using the EF pattern to add all those shamrocks!And well done on using different colours and rotations so it's a card full of life despite the pattern! :) A very good use of snippets too!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a LOT of good luck for today and also for all the days ahead!
Big hugs!!
What a fun St. Patty's Day card! That's a whole lot of shamrocks to cut out! They work perfectly with your textured background here and I love how you've dotted each one with a bit o glitter too! Great use of snippets with this one for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely way to showcase all those pretty shamrocks on the embossed background! Such a wonderful St. Patrick's Day card!
