I thought I might as well go for the Irish Holiday coming up with the GREEN theme!! The new lil Sweeties Tristin & Elizabeth were such a 'sweet' choice for this card!! They are stamped with Momento Tuxedo Black Ink onto White Cryogen paper.  They are colored with Copics . I wanted to add an Irish touch to Elizabeth so I stamped the Shamrock Trio  with Shades Kilkenny Green Dye Ink  and I fussy cut the largest Shamrock and placed on her jumper.  I die cut the lil Sweeties and the bottom layer with Cheery Lynn's Silver Stackers Circle .  Using Cheery Lynn's Stitcher Plate Circle a textured background for both the Sweeties and Greeting were embossed. 

The greeting and its bottom layer were die cut with Little Stackers Circle Dies .
 The twine, button and DP are from my stash.  The finished size of the card is 4.50" x 6.25".
