It's round or square week over on the Mojo Monday blog and round it will be :)After a short hiatus from St. Patrick's Day cards, another one was in order so I'm one card closer to my required quota. Out came Verve's Lucky You shamrock set and the matching dies are such a joy to work with!
Used a tried and true colour combo and just "had" to go with polka dots again....sorry....I'm on a bit of a bender with them lately....even embossed them in the background!
Just need to make one last St. Patrick's Day card and then you'll have a reprieve from them until next year LOL! But I won't commit to your not seeing any shamrocks until then as there could very well be a "lucky you" card or two somewhere along the course of the year.
Wishing you the blessing that's on the card, and sending you many thanks for all your wonderful comments. They make my day and fuel the fire to keep creating (((hugs))).

Marisa, another absolutely fabulous St Pats day card. You have the best green papers of anyone I know and you use the best sketches. I am trying to do a green card for a challenge and I am so stuck. I am going back through all your green cards now. Hugz.
ReplyDeleteFUN card, Marisa! Loving those new Verve stamps and dies!!
ReplyDeleteYou always rock the greens, my friend! Love your circle card, which is just perfect for all of those cute polka dots!
ReplyDeleteI will never have a problem with seeing St. Patrick's day cards!! They are a vision for me :) Love the embossed background and, of course, those sweet little shamrocks :) Be still my heart!! I see your husband is a multitasker with the remote!! I'm up early (well, my body is used to the 6:30 wake up) to watch more curling :) I miss not seeing Martin there for Alberta :(
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet circle card! Love the touch of kraft with the green/white combo...gotta love that green (and the polka dots)!

Oh Marisa! This is darling. I love the two greens that you have combined and the way your polka dots and round shapes flow throughout the design. Those shamrocks are fabulous every time you use them! Sorry I've been such a stranger...life is WAY too crazy, does it ever slow down, LOL! ((hugs))

You totally rock a card in the round! I have the hardest time with them. There is only so much I can cram into such a tiny space. I may need to break out a GRAND Calibur and make me a huge circle card and load it up. LOL! Love this look and those adorable Verve shamrocks...well...rock! Awesome card!
