I used a Martha Stewart punch for the center white section. I used pop dots on that section also. I cut a clover from A Child's Year Cricut cartridge and place it in the center of the circle that I cut out with my new Die-Namic circle stax dies (I got these at Scrapbooker's Emporium and I LOVE them). Instead of cording, I used green and white twine. I used a Jaded Blossom stamp from the Luck of the Irish set for the sentiment. Oh, one more thing I did that is not easily noticed; I placed some vellum beneath the circle cut out. This muted the pattern beneath it. Below is the card by Therese Calvird that was the inspiration for the card I created today:

ReplyDeleteHello! I have that Martha Stewart doily punch too and it's used a lot in my house :-) Thanks for entering our twine challenge over at Critters Challenge blog and good luck for this week! Crafty smiles, Teresa
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing to me that even though you have used a similar layout, your card is so different from the inspiration - well done - this is a great card!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sweet Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card for St. Patrick's day, non traditional...I love the lace!
ReplyDeleteLove the lacy border. I think the Irish are famous for some of their laces. I like the different colors and the little cut out. Thanks for playing along with us this week at FCCB. Kim Ogden
