WMS March Blog Party

Happy St. Patrick's Day. I can think of no better way to spend this beautiful spring-like day than participating in the Waltzingmouse Blog Party! Well, I could be working outside, cleaning winter's debris from the flower beds or picking up branches knocked down by recent windy days. But this is how I'd rather spend my free time. And it is a sort of a holiday, so working should be prohibited, right?

The theme for this month is St. Patrick or Irish. I've had Claire's Irish Blessings stamp set in my stash for quite some time and thought this was the perfect time to ink it up. The photo doesn't show the glitter on the blingy button I've attached to my bow and I've managed to obscure many of the shamrocks by my camera angle. Can you tell it's been a long time since I've taken a photo for a blog post?



Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps: Irish Blessings, Fancy Phrases
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, AMuse Sage, unknown green
Cardstock: unknown green and cream
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Breeze
Misc: Stampin' Up Very Vanilla Seam Binding, die cuts, buttons, twine

This is my first time to participate in a Waltzing Mouse Blog Waltz. The theme for this month's challenge is the colors of summer... blue and green (any shades of your choosing). My color choices were inspired by this month's logo and the cover on a Better Homes & Gardens magazine from a few months ago. I also used the Mojo Monday 147 sketch.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.
