Lucky Green

 


A lot of Kiwis are of Irish ancestry, and we have a lot of Irish pubs who have a big party at this time of year.  I have Irish matrilinealy and patrilinealy (as well as french, english and scottish). 

I used an EF for the background, splattered with Glimmer Mist green.  Shamrocks stamped, heat embossed, painted and fussy cut.  The diecut sentiment (stacked) is painted with pearlised watercolours.

Shamrock stamp: Joanna Sheen    

EF: Darice

Die word

Also: Glimmermist, pearlised watercolours

Gosh Carol, reading this you are such a mixed bag of backgrounds aren't you :)) I think St Patrick always gets the biggest party day for some reason and your card is a lovely tribute. xx
