The WT challenge today was to include lace and button(s) on our cards. I've gotten away from using a lot of embellishments. For the "lace", I made a stencil with a Cheery Lynn doily die and then sponged on color. There is one tiny button on the sentiment banner.

I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful St. Patrick's Day card.

Sallie, the stencil was a perfect way to create the look of lace without the bulk. The background is fabulous, and the die cut shamrocks are wonderful. I'm not normally fond of St Patrick's Day cards, but this one is gorgeous!

Like the airy lightness of an Irish morning, your card brought a huge smile to my face!! The shamrocks on top of your stenciled doily, and the random sponging in your background, have both contributed to this positively WONDERFUL St Patrick's day card! LOVE IT!

Now this is what I call some Beautiful definition, Sallie! You have proven that the real item does not need to be used to be effective! The stenciled doily is such a wonderful backdrop for your pretty shamrocks!
