Dessert: Layers...at least 4. If you count my card base, I have four. If you don't, no dessert.
I used Copics and white gel pen to create the "pearls" on the wrap. The bouquet was colored with reinkers and an aqua brush and the bg was done with TH inks and water mister. My green frame is a lighter olive green since I found a darker olive one to be too overpowering. Another St. Patrick's card for one of my Irish heritage friends.

Of course, we will count your card base! Four layers, dessert for you! Sallie, this is so beautiful. Love the image, your coloring and the whole design. Reminds me that my birthday is coming up soon!

How nice of you making these St. Pat's Day cards!! I love your bg. Some things that look effortless actually become more work for me. Your pearls are done very nicely too. A lovely bouquet that I'm sure will be enjoyed. :>)

What a gorgeous work of art, Sallie! The blues and greens are so soothing and love the different hues, separating your beautiful artwork from you wonderful background! The pearls look so real! You do work wonders with watercolors!

Such a pretty Shamrock bouquet! Your coloring is perfect, as usual, and that background - sigh. I like the lighter green layer very much, it seems the perfect shade to offset your creation.
