That Irish feeling

I found a new blog from Ireland thanks to Marge so I thought I would post some note cards I made with an Irish theme. Another blog I like is: thisirishphotograph.blogspot.com for all you with a wee bit of green in your blood.

For these note cards I stamped a Celtic knot, wet embossed it then cut it out and attached it with a pop dot. The envelopes I cut on my Silhouette using Martha Stewart paper. I attached a shamrock to a clear acetate box that chipboard letters came in and added a ribbon.

Then I thought " Why not enter it in the Caardvarks "Depth Perception" challege.

How does that saying go? " Third times a charm" I don't know about that but here's another entry. I love the Actopus to Zelephant borders from K&Co. and wanted to incorporate them into a card. It took me awhile to make them work with this sketch but I finally came up with this.
