Yeah my favourite colour and who doesn't think of the luck of the Irish when they see green.
For the front I have used an unmounted rubber Irish script and purchased glitter 4 leaf clover leaves.
Inside I have made an Irish dress with petticoats. I have used the Stampin up Dress form die and Elizabeth Craft Designs Lots of pops both designed by Karen Burniston
Here is a close up of the dress with its petticoats and gems. When my daughter did Irish dancing the dancing school kept their costumes very simple for they displays and Ceilidhs, many of the costumes were sown by the Mothers group.

Awesome card Maryann, love the Irish dress you created for this card.
ReplyDeleteYour green card evokes thoughts of Ireland and St. Patrick's Day, Maryanne. Thanks for a fun challenge.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely sensational inside and out, Maryann! What a fabulous St. Patrick's Day beauty!
ReplyDeleteI just knew you would love this challenge, my friend! Fab inside and outside, Maryann!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I especially like the way you used the map of Ireland as a background.
ReplyDeleteWow, Maryann - the details in this are wonderful. I love seeing the old Irish script on the front - my mother-in-law says she still can't get used to the fact that we now use a modern alphabet. Love those sparkly shamrocks too - and the dress. I enjoyed reading your write-up about it. Some of the costumes here are so elaborate and cost a small fortune - it's wonderful that the focus must have been on the dancing in your daughter's class.
ReplyDeleteLove the glittery shamrocks on the outside, and what a nice little surprise in the interior if the pretty green dress and the map of Ireland. How clever!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love the dress and fabulous backgrounds :)
