Sweet Little Irish Girl

Hi There!

**This Card was Featured on the CARDS Create Blog 3/15/12**

I was in a creative mood this morning and I came across this darling little image in my embellishment pile and I couldn't believe I didn't make a card with her to send out this year. I have sent my St. Patrick mailings, so I will have to put this in my keep box for next year and I can say I am one prepared! :-)))

I cherish making cards with vintage images, so when I come across one  I like I save it.

Here is what I have to share today!

I started with a Kraft card base and layered with a couple of patterns of paper.  Across the top, I die cut some cork I had in my stash for some visual interest and texture. Before moving onto focal image and embellishing, I tied a fussy seam binding bow on my lower panel adding a button and twine. 

Now the fun part of embellishing! I used some foam dots to add some dimension to my focal image adding some lace trim and buttons. I had the diecut Shamrock leftover from another make so I added to the upper right corner adding a vintage button to the center. I just think an Irish card needs a bit of GOLD don't You, so to complete my card, I added a gold glittered star of course embellished with a button!!!! Anyone who knows me knows I love my buttons!
