I couldn't let March pass and not make a St. Patrick's Day card. Here's another Bordered Sentiment technique card, similar in layout and design to my first one. When I was stamping the background images, I stamped the four-leaf clover and small pool party leaf full strength, but stamped off the flowers (saffron and wisteria) for a muted effect.
I made the shamrock by cutting out three hearts and stamping them with one of the leaves from the Botanical Blooms stamps (a long narrow leaf with lots of ribbed veins). I then sponged along the edges and fluffed up each petal with my bone folder before gluing it together. I cut the stem from a scrap on the desk.
Are you wondering about the Happy St. Patrick's Day sentiment? It's an old Stampin' Up! set called Rainbow's End, retired back in 2000. I think I've had it almost 18 or 19 years.

Wonderful card. Your shamrock is great and so is the very retired sentiment--I think I have it, too. Love the lacey detail and all those wonderful little stamps.
Thanks for sharing.
