An Irish Blessing

Today the Flourishes Girls are going to give you a timely focus on the set Irish Blessings.  Perfect for your St. Patrick's Day, expressing love or a kind blessing to anyone at any time of the year.


As I said earlier this week, I seem to be on a Scor-Buddy/Scor Bug kick this week, I used the scoring board and the little Scor Bug to create the embossed lines and dashes.  I think it gives you that celtic plaid sort of feel.  Then I added the Satin Finish Ribbon in Avacado on the diagonals with Scor Tape.  It's actually a pretty CAS Design, but the ribbons give it depth.  

I've colored up the trailing clovers with Prismacolor pencils, finishing the edge with the Classic Bracket Edgeabilities Die.  


I stamped the sentiment in this beautiful Fancy Tags Two Labels from Spellbinders, then overstamped the clover in Lime Tart Memento Ink and the added some Chocolate Limes Candi with some Praline and Cream glitter overtop.  

Join the rest of the DT today to see all of their great Irish Blessings Creations!

  7. I love this so much! The ribbon lattice is way cool and the shamrock border with those glittery candies (which look so much like brads) is very fun and cute. I think one of my favorite cards I've seen with this set.

  13. The greens are so fresh and pretty! I really like how you did the sentiment. I never thought of stamping in color for a background for a sentiment... it's very striking.
