Happy St Patty's Day 2011

Hi everyone...Today I have a new creation and this one is for the following challenges.

• Dutch Dare Card Challenge ... Their theme is to use their sketch
• Gingersnaps ... Theme is "Jewel Colors Plus Gold"
• Paper Pretties Challenge ... Theme is "Glittery"
• Stampin Sisters In Christ ... Theme is "Green"

I followed the sketch from DDCC and used one of my latest images called "Allie and Pot of Gold". You can purchase this image and many others at my Etsy Store. I colored my image using Copics and cut it out with one of my Scallop Circle Nesties. I added glitter to the gold to make it sparkle. I used lots of jewel colors, especially emerald green. Allie looks so happy to have her pot of gold...lol... I cut out a larger scallop circle and used green sparkle cardstock. I created my background Design Paper using Adobe Photoshop. I used one of my Cuttlebug dies and added some contrasting ribbon and pearls. I created my sentiment in Photoshop also. What do you think?
