Wonderful challenge using my favorite color! GREEN! Since Linda so kindly allowed earth tones, I used a little yellow/gold to brighten it up.
I started by stamping the Infinity Shamrock, masking it, then stamping the shamrock top from the Hatfull of Shamrocks then coloring them in. I die cut white & a gold panels w/ circles cut out toward the top to frame my bouquet. the greeting was stamped underneath. I stamped, colored & fussy cut a few shamrocks to add on either side of the greeting. These weren't originally in the plan, but became necessary when a couple of mysterious spots appeared.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Beautiful coloring on your shamrock bouquet and the real yellow ribbon tied around the stems is a pretty touch. Since many browns(earthtones) are technically in the yellow hue family...your yellow works.

Your shamrock bouquet looks amazing, Julie and it is enhanced by the way you mounted it recessed inside your circles and added the wonderful golden bow! Nice touch to add the extra shamrocks to either side of your sentiment - Happy St. Patty's Day to you!!
