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.

Julie, I LOVE a great St. Patty's Day card and this is one of them. It's beautiful and floral and wonderful in every way. The font on the sentiment is perfect.
