Lucky You!

Hello to all my friends,

Now that St Patrick's Day is around the corner, I designed this card keeping to the theme for our Twisted Thursday Challenge this week, which is a recipe of green, brads, glitter and ribbon on your card! I can't wait to see what everyone is going to come up with!  If you would like to join in, you can swing over to Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge. I have entered this card in Delightful Challenges - St. Patty's Theme, Party Time Tuesday - Rags to Riches, Inky Impressions Challenge - Green, Creative Inspirations - Colour Challenge, Dude Time Doodles Challenge - Green, Phindy's Place Challenge Blog - Green, Raise the Bar Challenge - Green


 This sweet little Tilda by Magnolia holding a bunch of clovers and the horseshoe is also a Magnolia image.  I stamped them with memento ink on neenah cardstock and coloured them with copics.  The papers are by Best Creations from a couple years back.   I decided that I liked the picture on the paper so I designed a frame around it with my SB Grand Nesties.   After I coloured the images, I cut them out and placed them on the frame.   I embossed the sentiment which is by Close to my Heart and added a ribbon to the frame.   Lots of stickles on the clovers, the bow on her hat and the trim on her socks and dress.  I added some liquid glass on the horseshoe and her shoes to make them shiny.  The last part of the recipe was brads so I used little gold ones in the pot to give the gold dimension.

I hope Tilda brings as much luck to you as she has brought me this week! Thanks for popping in!
