Shaker Card

It's been quite a while since I've posted. I've been overwhelmed at work, and I was out of town last weekend. Things should calm down in a couple of weeks (hopefully!)

I was able to practice a couple of techniques on this card. First, it's a shaker card so that was fun putting it together. Second, I used the aqua painter and watercolored the turtle.



Recipe:
Stamp Sets: Silly Sealife, Warm Words
Cardstock: Always Artichoke, Groovy Guava, Darling Doodles DP
Ink: Always Artichoke, Groovy Guava
Accessories: Rich Regal brads, Tag corner punch, Aqua painter, beads (from Michael's)

Irish Feast

Every St. Patrick's Day, my parents treat friends and family to an outstanding feast of corned beef & cabbage. It has become a time-honored tradition that honors the Irish heritage of my grandparents who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1930's
