I’ve had this little shamrock heart idea on my mind for a while. I do believe I have seen it before, but I’ve never tried it out and I’m just not sure where I did see it. I wanted to make this card for my mom for St. Patrick’s Day. My mom’s name is Kathleen….how much more Irish can you get?! She is from Belfast Northern Ireland and came to Canada 45 years ago.
Today’s sketch challenge seemed to work perfectly for my idea. I hadn’t planned on making a card this morning, so many things to do today but….I can’t seem to resist a challenge, especially when I have an idea in my head that works with it. I designed this card with what I think of when I think of Ireland…Irish Linen, greens, Irish lace, even the hearts tie in….I’ve never met anyone from Ireland who didn’t love their country. I wish I remembered more of my trip to Ireland when I was small. I was only 5. The rolling hills and the beautiful Giant’s Causeway are imprinted most in my mind.
