I was inspired by Alison's quote: Long live the Irish, long live their cheer, long live our friendship, year after year.
But the challenge was using the nestie to cut the heavy white cs. Took a gazillion runs through the bigshot to cut all the way thru, not to mention putting the bevel on the edge!

So worth the effort, but what is on the back? I don't understand these shape cards and how they go together! This is really pretty. I love the squiggle, all the pearls and the senti.
