Something Green for LNS Challenge 212

Today's card was actually a special request I had from a customer.  She got married last year on St. Patrick's Day so she wanted a special card to reflect that for her first anniversary.  It just so happens that this card fits in with the LNS Challenge for the week, Celebrating St. Patrick's Day.  I made a total of 3 cards for Laura to choose from, one I am sharing today and you will see the other two on Saturday.  Here is the card she picked.




As soon as I finished this card, I knew it was the winner.  I liked the other two cards, but this one just stood out for me.  I used Old Olive as the card base, embossed with Lacy Brocade.  The doily was just something from my everything drawer that I've had forever, not the Stampin' Up! doilies from the Spring Catalog.  The ribbon is Pear Pizzaz seam binding that I got from the Clearance Rack a couple weeks ago, looked great with the Old Olive.  I stamped the scallop heart from the Hearts a Flutter Bundle and die cut it.  The anniversary greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes is stamped in Old Olive as well.  The shamrock came from a retired set from last year.  The heart blended in too much with the doily when by itself, so I used Old Olive CS die cut with one of the Windows Collection Framelits and it popped more.




Overall I love the elegant look, very appropriate for a sweet first anniversary!  You can see the other two cards I made for Laura to choose from on See it Again Saturday as they are both made with previous layouts.
Thanks for visiting!! See you again tomorrow when I share another card sample.

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

This card makes me think "Irish". I think it must be the doily that does it. Beautiful! Thanks for joining our challenge this week.
