This is my sample for CC625. Barbara is our hostess and she chose emerald envy, gold and whisper white. Dessert Option this week is St Patrick's Day.
Well, I looked at the colors 2x before I started my card and somehow the emerald envy translated to cucumber crush. What is wrong with me??? As I was making my card, I was thinking that the green didn't look like an Irish green shade.
Of course it didn't, because it wasn't the color that Barbara picked. But, I didn't make my card until today and just finished it at 8:00 pm and I am too tired right now to start over. So I am asking or maybe even begging for a pass this week from my teamies (lol)!!!
Here are the details of my card. I noticed that over on the Verve site there was a free St Patrick's Day digi set - Feeling Lucky. So I downloaded it and used it for my card today. The sentiment inside the shaker is part of that set as are the shamrocks. I printed the shamrocks on the cucumber crush cardstock and fussy cut them.
The frame for my shaker elements is cut from the CottageCutz stitched rounded rectangle and square dies in whisper white cardstock. To cover the gold color I added sequins inside the shaker.
My background dsp is from the Stampin'-Up collection "Cherry On Top". The celebrate word is a die from CottageCutz.
And, that is my card for this week. I have an Irish friend that will be getting this card. I hope she is ok with the shade of green I used (lol)!!

What a fun card with all those gold sequins looking like mini coins! I like that die cut word and shamrocks embellishing the shaker frame . . .
PS . .I've seen the disclaimers that say these are SU colors and just use whatever you have that's close . . . . so no one should have a prob with your choice of cucumber in lieu of emerald . . . .You turned out a beautiful card!
