May the Road Rise With You

 St. Patrick's Day is coming up on 3/17/26 here in the USA and I wanted to make a few cards to send -  here is one I made today.

I die cut 16 shamrocks out of watercolor paper and cut off their stems. I colored them with 3 different shades of green Copics.

I rolled a shaping tool over the centers of the shamrocks to make the edges curve up and adhered them with glue just on their centers over a panel embossed with a Plaster Embossing Folder that I sponged with Old Paper Distress ink.  The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse (retired)

    Julia... just fabulous! Love the bed of shamrocks! The plaster EF makes a great background. AND the sentiment... love seeing the Gaelic. Both of my parents were born and raised in Ireland...and the country definitely holds a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for sharing with Just Us Girls!
