This is my card for cc364. Julia is our hostess and she chose the monochromatic greens (lucky limeade, river rock and garden green) this week and she wants us to make it Irish or a blessing card. Well I did both.
It is so perfect for the challenge this week. I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.
I used a slight touch of orange for the ribbon and bow wrapped around the paper on the bouquet. After all that is one of the colors on the Irish flag.
I cut the image out and layered it over the river rock panels. The "Irish blessing" is computer generated, as is the "Happy St PatrickÂ’s Day" banner sentiment.
My background dsp is from Stampin-UpÂ’s garden green collection and I used some ruffled lucky limeade ribbon on the sentiment panel.

I love this beautiful shamrock bouquet! I almost bought a big bouquet of Bells of Ireland today in the store but they looked a couple of days past their sell by date Love St. Patrick's Day being mostly Irish and your card is just a perfect celebration of this holiday.
------------------------------ This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
