St Patrick's Day card for Wlatzing Mouse Blog Waltz

Hello everyone,
                                                                                                                         

                                                                                                   

Happy St Patrick's Day and its time for another Waltzing Mouse Blog Waltz. I confess that I don't have a single St Patrick's Day image in my stash so I was delighted that Claire kindly gave us a couple of images to work with for this waltz. I admit to having lots of trouble thinking of something special to do for this card so in the end I opted for a simple layout that lets the free image take centre stage. I had visions of using 40 shades of green but settled for the 5 shades I had in my stash! I decoupaged part of the panel and used glossy accents to highlight the shamrock.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I I typed the sentiment on the computer and used a gel pen to create a faux ribbon effect. I stitched the edge of the panel on the sewing machine and added a couple of buttons to finish it off.

I'm off to Harrogate today for a few days so I won't get to see all the entries until I get back but have a great day waltzing. I shall be visiting the Great Northern Papercrafts show whilst I'm away so I'm hoping to come back with some new little goodies.

Thanks for looking.

Hugs

I had problems with this post in Blogger for some reason and don't have the time to play around to get it right, so I'm sorry that the layout is a bit messy.
