For the Alpha challenge R for Repeat, and for the Ways to Use it challenge Cornered.
I printed out the digi image 3 times. One cut using the Scan n Cut.... I used the waste paper as a stencil and added Green Distress inks in various colors (repeat challenge) on the background. Three shamrocks added. I have always learned three and shamrocks stands for the Father, the Son and The Holy Ghost. I added white Unicorn ink through circle punched stencil I made to make Bokeh background. The Sentiment needed a sidekick- so added Washi tape and sparkly enamel dots. I have lots of relatives to choose from to send this card out to : )

Great St Patrick Days card. The Irish celebrate the day here...usually at the pub LOL..but never seen cards. When I was growing up we would search for a 3 leaved clover as it was considered lucky. Great card and design for the challenge. I now need to do some cards. TFS. Happy day

Fantastic job on this card, Shelly! Love that you used your cut and scan scrap to to the background. How fun your background is with the oxides in different greens. Love everything a about this card. I had never heard the tidbit about the Holy Trinity and the clover. And I always thought it was a 4 leaf clover that was lucky. I know nothing really about why the Irish celebration St. Patrick.

What a neat idea to put the corners and shamrocks in the same paper, sure makes this pretty! And someone is going to love it, whether they are Irish or not!

Great St. Patrick's day card. Love the repeated stenciled pattern for the background and those 3 shamrocks as your focal point are perfect as they repeat the leafy pattern that is one your corner pieces too. You did some great repeating in different kinds of ways and you also repeated different shades of green all over your card.

This is a great St Patricks Day card. I love those Shamrocks! Using your negative for a stencil made a wonderful BG. If you didn't do the TLC yet, I'd say this is a pretty good Camo background. You should put it there, too.
