Crafts With Cutters Challenge #124

Happy Wednesday!  Our CWC Challenge this week at MyPaperCrafting.com was to create anything Irish or St. Patrick's Day related.  St. Patty's Day isn't a big holiday for my family -- to the best of my knowledge there isn't a trace of Irish blood in my family tree.  Having said that, it is fun to celebrate the day -- wear green, talk with a fake Irish accent and pull Leprechaun tricks on my 8 yr. old!

Here is what I created for today's challenge . . .

After I made this card I realized that it reminds me of Skittles candies!  LOL!  Here's the recipe:

• The patterned paper is by Colorbok and is from and 8 1/2" x 11" paper pack called "Sunny Day."  (I purchased it at Wal-Mart.)  I cut the strips 3/4" wide and 3" and 3 3/4" long.
• The shamrock paper is from a Recollections paper pack called "Feathered Greens."
• I used the Cuttlebug Musical Flourish folder to emboss the shamrock; it was cut at 2 1/2" tall using Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge.
• The white scalloped border was cut at 5 1/2" wide using the Cricut Sophisticated cartridge.
• The grosgrain ribbon 5/8" wide and was adhered with Recollections red line tape.
• The sentiment was computer generated.
• I used some clear Stickes to give my shamrock a little bling.
