TodayÂ’s Free for All Challenge has 2 requirements..St. PatrickÂ’s Day theme & use one of the tutorials in the SCS Resources section. I went with THIS tutorial on creating a frame using Spellbinders nestabilities.
After using two sizes of Labels 22 to make my frame, I also die cut a fancy lattice, used part of it behind the frame & the rest for the lower part of my card front. The Infinity Shamrock was stamped w/ green ink, then I added a light green shading to it before stamping the greeting on top with black. I attached it on top of the lattice & a green panel behind the lattice before attaching to my card. The shamrock swag was colored & fussy cut.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff(pssssttttt...there's a link on my blog to the DRS Thurs challenge & all you need is some spring green colors. DRS images are not required!)

This is very striking! You picked the perfect green to contrast with the white. The beautiful frame kind of reminds me of a window in an old Irish Pub.

great card- love your St. Patrick's Day sentiments and the lovely embossing. It does remind me of an Irish Pub- there's one like that in Portland, OR I visit with my friend Detelinka for a good meal and a proper lager.

Think you have most of the Irish sayings covered with your sentiment panel. Love the lattice work with the bright green underlay. Lovely St. Pat's card.
