Wearin' of The Green

Good luck on St. Patrick's Day!

"Wearin' of the Green"

We live within sight of the mountain of Slemish, where St. Patrick minded his sheep as a slave boy. This is a really beautiful part of the world with the green Glens of Antrim, waterfalls a plenty and a fabulous coastline with a road at the foot of the cliffs and miles of golden sands on the beaches. Things are looking up for Northern Ireland and I wish everyone a fantastic weekend.

Ingredients:
Distress inks: Pine Needles, Bundled Sage
Vintage images from Magic Moonlight Studios
"Good Luck" sentiment stamps from Dovecraft and Papermania sets
"Irish Luck" and "Blarney Castle" images from junk mail!

Entered for the following challenge:
Wags n Whiskers - Luck of the Irish (use green)
Simon Says Stamp - A Bit o' Green
Pile it On - St. Patrick's Day and/or Shades of Green

  6. Beautiful card Maddy. I bought my Shamrock and had it proudly displayed in a wee pot in my kitchen. The Shamrock is now currently being pressed and dried between 2 massive cookbooks!! A big Ireland lover in the USA asked me would I mind sending her a bit of Ireland to her. So T was at the beach and got a big bag of NI soggy sand and some stunning shells and peebles, so they'll be winging their way to the USA very soon. Hope you had a wonderful St Paddys Day. Lee x
