Finally had time to finish my card that I started yesterday. The technique I used is called Belleek and can be found here TLC361 ~ Inspired By Belleek Pottery (1/23/12) by StampingQueenJAR at Splitcoaststampers . Being a St. Patrick's Day card the Belleek technique seemed the way to go! (Hope the challenge police are having a coffee break to-day)! The shamrocks are made by punching out small heart shapes from all my scraps, folding them in half and gluing them back to back for for the leaves. I used an SU embossing folder for the detachable ATC background and the little leprechaun is a piece of confetti. As per my New Year's Resolution: something old - the folder for the Belleek technique and something new - the greeting.

Those shamrocks are gorgeous, Sue! I love the colours and dimensions.
I always thought that with the embossing folder stamping you didn't actually emboss, just used the folder as a stamp?
Belleek was certainly a great choice to use with the shamrocks - and the tiny little shamrocks on the sentiment are just dinky.
