Congrats to Kim! Such a wonderful gallery and she always leaves such sweet comments! I chose her St. Pat's Day. I kept the St. Paddy's Day theme and green & white colors but used just a sentiment as my main image and added a lot of punched greenery.
The new Irish Blessing image is from DRS Designs. I love it when I get to work on St. Patrick's Day cards because any shade of green is my favorite color. I think I used 3 different shades of green and a little metallic gold on this one.
The Irish Blessing was stamped and I die cut two sizes of the badge/shield to make a double frame. Everything else is punch work. Different flowers, branches and four leaf clovers were punched and glued around the frame (I used a stylus and a foam pad to give the flowers a little shape). One little green crystal was added in the center of the gold flower on top. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

WOW, this is awesome Julie!!! I love that shade of green too, especially with white. St. Patrick's Day has always been a fun day and a reminder of my dad's fun. Your card has that beautiful Julie flavor with the flowers added to it. Thank you so much for playing today and adding to my special day. Hugs!! Kim :>)
