This week we are sending cards of support and cheer to Patty who is now on nightly kidney dialysis. Our hostess, Pat, tells us that green is the color that represents kidney disease and this week is also St. Patty's Day, so we are showering Patty with the healing color of green. I was inspired by this beautiful card by Sabrina aka Cook22: MMTPT764 Rainbow by Cook22 at Splitcoaststampers. I loved her rich green bg and the Irish Blessing all wrapped up in a (rain)bow.
I don't have brushos so I pulled out some Copic reinkers for an Alcohol Ink bg instead. I thought embossing it would add some interest, but it turned out I liked it better without the embossing {{shrug}}. But you can never duplicate an AI bg so I went with this one and it looks fine. The flower dies arrived in my mailbox last night so they were begging to be used on this card. I googled and found this Irish Blessing which I typed using Eliot Sans and Snowflake fonts.
I hope all these cards of green bring Patty joy, support, contentment, and a bit of Irish luck. It's a cloudy, rainy day in SoCal today, but the sun peeked out right when I was taking my photo. That Irish Blessing worked for me. Now I hope it works for you too! TFL

Wow, this is simply wonderful, Debbie! Love the rich greens of the BG, which looks great embossed! Those flower dies are such a breath of Spring and the sentiment couldn't be more perfect. I want to remember that blessing, which could work for so many occasions. Outstanding creation!!

What a beautiful shade of green for this lovely background and those black eyed susans just pop!

Stunning! Love the technique of the greens/EF in the BG. The headline die-cut section is especially pretty and the fonts used are fabulous. The flowers/coloring is a perfect finish...

I'm glad you didn't have Brushos, I always love seeing your AI backgrounds. I like the open framing of the blessing, and the rudbeckia look lovely Shaun's your forty shades of green.
