St Patrick's Day in my household is very important. The saying goes, "everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day". I'm not Irish, yet I join in the festivities right along with all the other folks because my husband is in an Irish band.
This was created for my husband's friend and fellow Irish musician - a man who was a pillar in the local Irish community. He passed away a few weeks ago quite unexpectedly. I know he is joining the festivities wherever he is right now.
Creative Embellishments has some amazing Celtic designs and borders to indulge the Irish and celebrate their rich heritage. Even if you are not Irish, you can admire and adore the gorgeous intricate designs.
Below is an image of the chipboard and stamp I used:

The inspiration for my card was the Mood Board at Maja Design for March. The colors and the Spring theme are perfect for the celebration.
The paper collection used was Maja Design - Enjoying Outdoors paper collection.
Stamping
I used a rich brown ink from Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey called Cocoa Powder True Color Fusion Ink . If you'd like to really make the stamp pop, then immediately cover the ink with clear embossing powder to heat set. The clear embossing and heat setting seals the ink and gives a nice smooth sheen to the stamp making it pop a bit.
I added one of CE's amazing stamps to symbolize the Irish music that was so important to my husband's friend.
Yes CE has Stamps!
