Plaid St, Patrick's Day

Welcome!

I'm not sure what gremlins possessed me as I sat down to stamp the other night, but I really need to do a couple of Valentine cards for my boys, but somehow I ended up going with Irish.

Ever since Julie posted her beautiful Cherry Blossom Thank You card a couple of weeks ago I've been dying to do something similar.  Thanks for getting in my head Julie - I can use all the help I can get!!

I started by stamping a diagonal plaid on a scrap of card stock using our Woven Plaid and spring green ink.  I then used just the 1/4" strip of plaid (see our tutorial on our "Cut Apart Plaid") and added some yellow ink between the green stripes.  Wanting to add a bit more I then used the smallest strip to add some more yellow directly on top of the fattest green sections.  I layered it on green card stock and set it aside.

I stamped, colored and fussy cut our Everything Irish image and then used just the center of our St. Patrick's Shamrock Scroll by applying masking tape to the scroll parts, inking it in green, removing the masking tape and stamping on a scrap of white.  Once I had all my pieces I layered it on white and attached everything to a folded green card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
