Dueling Darlings Duel 2012- March

Hi everyone! It's the 15th and time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! OK.....so St. Patrick's day is on Saturday, but we are starting a wee bit early!

This months hostess for the Dazzler's is Michelle! She sent us a great kit containing the following items:

3 6x6 pieces of patterned paper: Basic Grey Origins - Sugar Pea, Echo Park This and That - Dots and Plaid, and Reminisce - ShamRock

Ribbon and cording....American Crafts
Brads...................American Crafts
Glitter Shamrock....die cut at work, glitter paper
Pebblesinc......Button candy dots
Irish Blessing is computer generated and printed on SU! Whisper White, and SU! Cream


Here is the card I put together:



I really like how this turned out! I backed the glitter shamrock with 3 hearts punched with the Large Heart SU! punch to give it a different look, and it really makes the shamrock stand out! I also added the sentiment from my collection (it's a dollar stamp from Michaels).

Michelle asked us to write about anything special we do for St.Patrick's Day, and I have to admit that we don't do anything special. I may mix up some green beer on Saturday, but who knows? maybe I can talk Steve into going out for a green beer!

Happy St Patrick's Day everyone! Thank you for stopping by to visit!

  9. I love me some shamrock! It is so sparkly and fun. That background DP is just perfect.

    I also really like how you treated the sentiment. I just picked up some similar ribbon to that in various colors. I love the little stitches.

    Great job!
