As far as I know I do not have any Irish blood but that doesn't stop me from exchanging cards on St. Patrick's Day with my Thursday night stamping buddies. Some years I don't manage to get any done because it's usually so close to Easter. This year this excuse didn't work, plus when I saw a recent sketch at Mojo Monday this idea popped into my head and wouldn't leave, so here it is...
Stamps: Ivy frame (Stampin' Up), Celtic background (unmounted and unknown), sentiment (from the dollar bin at Michael's - old)
Other: shamrock punch, sequins
The shamrocks are punched out from gold card stock.
Challenges (click on the links for more information and lots of inspiration from the DTs and the galleries):
Addicted to Stamps #233 "Holiday"
Retro Rubber Challenge #58 "Anything Goes"
The frame is way older than a year, more like 10 years... Same for the background stamp and the sentiment...
Shopping Our Stash #294 "Luck O' The Irish"
Wishing you a big pot of Irish luck!
Be well,

Suzanne, what a bright and cheery St. Patrick's Day card! Your favorite leprechaun is going to be very happy receiving this card! Thanks so much for sharing it with Retro Rubber challenge this week. Hope to see you often in our gallery!
Very sweet card, Susanne! Love your choice of colors. Thanks for playing along with Retro Rubber!
A super CAS St. Pat's. Love the inchie design and the trail of ivy leaves decorating each square. Like the trio layout with the sequins in #4 spot. Clever & most effective design layout with great colors too. I think most of us may not have much (if any!) Irish ethnicity, but it's still fun to celebrate with pretty cards! TFS & Hugs
