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!

Tammy, that is so sweet! You are so brilliant at shabby chic!
WoWzA, this is stunning!
Yes, gold goes very well on a St. Patty's Day card! This is ultra sweet, especially because of that little girl image, but you have many lovely details here. The lace, the buttons, the glittery star...all good stuff!
Loads of button interest on your card. Would never have thought of due cutting cork but it looks really good. Hugs Mrs A.
