~ May Your Troubles Be Less ~

Good Friday morning!  I hope you are having a wonderful start to your day!  We are digging out from another major snowstorm.  As I write this, we have 12 inches on the ground and expect more throughout the day.  It is beautiful to look out but quite the challenge when you need to get to work!  

So with St. Patrick's Day around the bend and hopefully the arrival of spring, I decided to work on something showing a "bit of green."  This project features Our Daily Bread Designs' March release St. Patrick's Day.


I started with a Kelly Green card stock base (5.5 x 4.25 inches) and added a white mat.  The white mat features an image from ODBD's Life is a Gift set stamped with Memento's Bamboo Leaves ink and soft scalloped clouds created by sponging Memento's Summer Sky and London Fog ink around a paper punched scallop.  I added another Kelly Green CS layer this time using ODBD's dies nested together, Vintage Flourish Pattern and Vintage Labels.  I then cut another layer with gold CS.  I used trimming scissors to cut out just the frame (from the second nested gold die cut) and glued it to the green base layer.  I stamped the sentiment (from St. Patrick's Day) with black ink directly on my image panel.  A few shamrocks (stamped and fussy cut from St. Patrick's Day) adorn the spray and sentiment panel.  A bit of foliage (Fancy Foliage Die) dress up the mulberry rose spray.  

So here are the items you see from the March release...
