This simple St Patrick's Day card began with the Sweet Stamps sentitment Irish Blessing stamped with Distress Ink Clear . Then it was heat embossed with Queen's Gold EP . The sentiment is die cut with Cheery Lynn's Card Makers Rectangle Die . Celtic Chain Border gave the card an Irish feel. I stamped the Shamrock from Shamrock Wish Duo six times with Kilkenny Green Shades Dye Ink and detailed cut them. They weren't quite right in color so I painted the shamrocks with CIP's Emerald Green giving them shimmer too! A little edging with a Krylon Gold Pen on the white layers and gold gems from my stash the card was complete. The finished size is 4.50"x 6.25"

Using Cheery Lynn's Stitcher Plate Circle a textured background for both the Sweeties and Greeting were embossed.

The sentiment, Nice Daisy is stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink also. Embossing Folder Daisy & Swirls pairs nicely with Summer Daisy.
