Don't laugh at this St. Patrick's Day upload based on the SC267 sketch. I don't make St. Patrick's Day cards, but there is a certain SCS who has a b-day on St. Patrick's Day and loves GREEN, so what else is one to do. This certain person lives up in cold Canadian country and I think she knows who she is.
It's definitely not my favorite card, but how could I NOT do a St. Patrick's Day birthday card. I thought the sketch image this past week fit perfectly with the theme.
I used some St. Patrick's Day paper I had in my stash and paired it with garden green and some lighter green bazzil paper. I had these little glitter shamrocks and a kind of sort of matching ribbon. I used the Happy Birthday ef on both layers of patterned paper. And, I used the leaf ef on the main image panel.
The 2nd panel, image panel and shamrock circles were all popped up on dimensionals.
Hope this mystery VIP punch pal from Canada who has a b-day on St. Patrick's day will forgive me for my less than perfect attempt at a St. Patrick's Day B-day card!
Thanks for taking the time to look and have a great evening.

Hey, Pam!! I just saw this on the "recent uploads" on the main gallery page. It looks super!! Love those glittery shamrocks and the matching ribbon. I'm sure the St. Patty's birthday girl will love it, too. It's a great use of SC267!

Pam, I thought you had made me an Irish card because my dh is Irish. Well, I am quite sure I know who this is for and I am fine with it going to her because she has already said I could be let into the punch pal club. She is sooooooo nice.
Hopefully, I'll get to be head of the club. You think so, Pammy? LOL I love your green and white and all those wonderful shamrocks. Cute ribbon for the bath mat. :rolleyes: Seriously, I really do think it is outstanding! Hugs

This is a wonderful St. Patrick's day birthday card (I'm thinking I know who it's for too). Love the glittery shamrocks and the that ribbon..........what could be better. Perfect card and agreed - what else could you do?
