Although I don't celebrate St. Patty's Day, my husband claims some Irish heritage, and so he likes to make corned beef and cabbage on St. Patrick's Day. Given that, how could I not make a card or two to celebrate the holiday, right? I used a fun stamp by Penny Black called Irish Luck (surprise!) that I was given at some point, or won in a blog giveaway. Unfortunately, I didn't label it , but if you are the one who sent it to me THANK YOU so very much! It was fun to color and die cut...and I combined it with an embossing folder by Tim Holtz and stitched rectangle dies by Gina Marie. This one will go to my grandkids, and I made three other cards with slight differences in design. That dotted green paper has been in my stash for 15 years..eek! So yes, that felt good to use some of it for a change. Lots of layered scraps made this a card that made me smile
