Seeing Shamrocks Blog Hop ~ My Card

I wanted to try my hand at something a bit more 'untraditional' for a St. Patty's Day card so I thought I'd use the standard St. Patty's Day Greens with a bit of BAM ~ Mulberry BAM that is!  Additionally, I wanted to incorporate one of Heather's Monday Card Sketches because these truly make card making simple and smart!  Here is the card sketch I used for this card {HMS #139}:

And for some reason I've always wanted to make GREEN Beer!  Perhaps it's my Irish heritage .... right?!  Okay ... maybe not.  Regardless ... I've always wanted to make GREEN Beer so that's the theme I went with.  I used my yellow flower punch to make my shamrocks.  I just cut out between each flower and then added a stem.  VersaMark around the edges of all of my green cardstock ... YUM!

I stamped and embosses my image on vellum and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils.  I then stitched the vellum onto white ultrasmooth.  A vendor sent me a new white pen to try out and can I say L-O-V-E!  OMGosh!  L-OOOOOOO-V-E!  GORGEOUS!

I hope you enjoy!
