I love all the holidays, even if they are outside of my culture. St. Patrick's Day is one of them. I'm not Irish and you don't really need to be to celebrate the day. Some drink green beer or have green treats or even just wear green. I love whimsy and I bring that out with holidays. 

I made a St. Patrick's themed card for good luck. It can be for the holiday or even someone getting a new job or moving this time of year. 

I started off choosing the largest clover from my little bag of St. Paddy ephemera that is filled with pieces left over from projects in the past. I have these bags for different holidays and themes. They are easy to pull out when I need them. 

I have an old stack of Doodlebug St. Patrick's paper that I took the rainbow paper from. I coated it with Brutus Monroe Giltter Glaze in Fallen Snow to add some sparkle. Once dry, I ran it through with a Darice embossing folder called St. Pat's Background that puts clover and shamrock impressions on the background. I try to use many things I already have so sometimes I can't guide you to the product if you like what you see. I strongly encourage you to use the things you may have too. 

 

I cut out the leprechaun silhouette with my ** Silhouette Studio Software and Silhouette Cameo by using Design #55549 from Silhouette Studio. I attached it with some dimensional adhesive. 

Inside sentiment: Good Luck!

This card is available for purchase here: St. Patrick's Day cards in Paula's Studio Store
