Happy St. Patrick's Day Everyone! Today, Claire Owner/Designer of Waltzing Mouse Stamps is hosting a blog hop on her NEW forum. Claire challenged us to create a card "showing a little green" using ANY Waltzing Mouse stamp & has even provided free digital images for all to play with :) For those of you who are not familiar with Claire, she lives in Northern Ireland :)
Here is my Emerald Blessings card:
I showcased Claire's free digital bunch of Shamrocks image & framed it in a Waltzing Mouse Very Vintage Labels No. 5 image that pairs wonderfully with the Spellbinders S4-229 Labels Five die. I discovered the fantastic Waltzing Mouse stamps when searching for stamps that paired with Spellbinders dies :)
Ingredients Used:
Stamps: Waltzing Mouse Very Vintage Labels No. 5 & free digital images,
Paper: Papertrey Ink, My Mind's Eye DP, OfficeMax digital
Ink: Copic markers, Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Up
Sprinkles: S4-229 Labels Five, Fiskars border punch, Stampin' Up punch, Papertrey Ink ribbon, Making Memories hardware, generic gold embossing powder, button & cord from stash

Beautiful card. I love so much about it, the dimensional shamrocks, the stamped background and the stitching, etc. It all comes together so perfectly.
Just a beautiful card. Love the way you've done the background.

Fabulous, Mona!! That image is perfect in the label (and love how you used the smaller label for the sentiment)!!
Your double rainbow photo is beautiful!!

Wow Mono, this is a great card. I just adore all of the dimension on your card...and what an outstanding picture you captured. A real treat to see on St. Patrick's Day.
This is a beauty! It really does show off so much more than Claire's shamrock stamp, which is gorgeous the way you've coloured it...
I'm back again. Thank you for pointing me toward this hop! Also wanted to mention how lovely the rainbow is framing the mountains in your photo!
Beautiful card with that amazing coloration you did on the stamp! I love how you used the Spellbinders Nestabilities! I also love that cute tag!
So pretty... the card and that very cool rainbow! Not a bad view and I'd be hoping for that pot of gold too.
Your card is adorable. I love that frame! The rainbow is amazing too!
This card is stunning. Love all the little details that you did with the dimension to the image, the frame, THE TAG! Thanks for sharing the double rainbow picture too...beautiful!
Beautiful Mona!! Love the layout, and your coloring, it's fantastic!! :) Happy St. Patrick's day!! Oh - and I love love that photo...I drove through the end of a rainbow once...no pot of gold... I guess it must have been at the other end -- lol :)
Gorgeous card Mona! Love the navy with the green! The clover bouquet is fantastic :)
And, oh my goodness - that's your backyard?!?! Do you live in paradise? The landscape and hills look something like Monaco. Stunning... *drool*. The fantastic rainbow really makes it look incredible. Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Oh I LOVE the color scheme you chose! The dps looks fab with your little bouquet of popped shamrocks...and the photo was just like the icing on the cake...LOVE IT!
WOW, Mona, this is FABULOUS!!! I'd never think to use Not Quite Navy with the green, but it is just STUNNING! So is your rainbow photo & your back yard!!!
Hello Mona! I couldn't wait to see what you were going to create and it's just beautiful!!! Love your colors the blue pops perfectly and the little tag with the shamrock I absolutely love!
Love the colors you used on your card Mona! And that little tag is too cute. Love all the details you included!
Oh my , Mona...this is FABULOUS! I love that blue colored ribbon and that little tag too. You always impress me. :)
I love the pop of the blue along with the tradition green. The border ar the bottom of the card is striking. I am still trying to figure out how you did it with just one punch. Adding the dimensional shamrocks was a wonderful idea! A very striking card!
beautiful card and picture. love how you made the tag and had a few shamrocks popping off the card.
What a beautiful card! Awesome coloring and shading. I love the little dimensional shamrocks you've added as well. How clever of you to include that wonderful double rainbow pic with your post! Very nice touch!
Gorgeous card, Mona! Your color choices are glorious! I love that cute little tag with your always perfect bow! Excellent job!
Beautiful job! great coloring and I love the dimension! :)
Mona--This card is so neat. The blue ribbon works so well against the green, and I love your Irish wish on the tag. That rainbow in the photo is really superb. It took a while, but I finally found the second rainbow. What a great card, and the photo to go with it is an added bonus. And, hey, I like your new blog opening page. Really nice. Sue M.
