Moving on to St. Patrick's Day

I told you I would be back to play in Flourishes' February Release Week Challenge, the Pick 1 Challenge again! Now that Valentine's Day is over (here's hoping yours was a fabulous one!), I'm moving on to the next holiday. Here's today's creation:


Remember, we were to pick one of three sketches,


one of three color combinations,


and one of three embellishments.


This time around, I used sketch #2, color combo #3, and embellishments choice #2 – buttons.

I used the very awesome Irish Blessing stamp set from Flourishes.

Got any big plans for the weekend? My kids get all next week off from school for February vacation and my hubby has Monday off for President's Day. I think we will be getting in some awesome family time!!

See you again soon!

    LOL about St. Patrick's Day! The flower stamped you used and the delicate way you colored it on your card are GORGEOUS!! You have such a knack for the details, Emily, like the little bit of stitching and the tiny sentiment tag. Beautiful!
