WMSC110 -- Irish Blessings

Okay - I participated once before in the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge:  here.  At the time I didn't own any of their stamps and used a freebie they offered on their website... well... since then I've corrected that problem!!  LOL

Here's a card I created with one of my new stamp sets I bought with WMSC110 in mind:

Picture of the sketch & details here:  WMSC110 
As much as I love adding ribbon to a card, I opted to leave it off on this one.  After trying different textures and bows... it just didn't seem to go in the direction I was heading, you know?

Image is coloured with Copics & the little MFT shamrock die was coated in Glossy Accents after sponging the edges a little with SU Always Artichoke. 

Love this beautiful Irish Country scene and the tons great sentiments that come with this Waltzing Mouse Irish Blessings set.  I left the inside blank, but repeated the little shamrocks to make a border at the bottom.

Irish Blessing

I found this wonderful free digital image at Waltzing Mouse Stamps HERE.  I love it - what a fantastic image for St. Patrick's Day!  Or even to just wish someone good luck. 

I coloured with Copics & SU's Certainly Celery with Little Yellow Bicycle background paper.  Both EK Success & Martha edge punches were used.  The felt rolled flower was an afterthought as was the bit of glitter to the shamrocks.  (Real shamrocks have glitter, don't they?  lol)

I kept the inside simple.  I'm certainly going to try a few more cards with this beautiful shamrock bouquet.  But before that... I'm going to try something else that's green.  A NeoCitran.  =)

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone.
