It's the 17th, and that means that I get to go to the Waltzingmouse Blog Party. Yay! The theme this month is ST. PATRICK'S DAY/IRISH/GREEN. I have ordered a bunch of new WM stamps, but they are not here yet. That means that you need to bear with me for just one more month while I make do with what I own, beg, borrow and steal (OK, I have not stolen anything, yet). For this challenge, I used a lot of green, and had to get creative with what I had on hand, which is Eat Cake, Cameo to Go, and Off Beat Backgrounds. I used something from each of those sets to come up with my card.
I am also entering this card into the St. Luke's Charity Card Challenge Spring into Spring.
Thanks for Visiting
You cracked me up, with your beg, borrow or steal comment! I love that you framed your card with the green stitches! How cute to put those flowers into the flower box and make that your focal point. You will have lots to use as soon as you get your order, I predict lots and lots of great WM cards in your future!
