I’m trying to get into the St. Patty’s day spirit and remind myself that I am truly blessed and lucky, even though I spent the morning in traffic court and will be spending this Saturday at defensive driving class. (sigh)<\/p>\n

I created this lucky-themed tag for my lovely friend, Julie (YT: Thriftypapergarden). I started with a foam core base which I covered with patterned papers. The background of the shamrocks and four leaf clover is a free printable that I found online (there are tons out there!). I used Glossy Accents on every other shamrock and used Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents on the gold four leaf clover.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The super cute C.C. Designs “Irish Emma”,\u00a0is colored with the following Copic colors:
\nSkin: E50, 51, and 53 with Blush: R30
\nHair: E97, \u00a007 and 19
\nBlack part of dress: C7 and 9
\nGreen part of dress: G16 and 19
\nWhite socks: C1 and Colorless blender 0
\nShoes: C1, 5, 7 and 9
\nI also used a gold metallic Gelly Roll pen to color in the the clovers on her dress and add some dot details to her dress and shoes.<\/p>\n

To add some softness, texture and interest, I added some lovely floral, velvet, and braided ribbons and trims in greens of different hues from my stash–all gifted to me by super sweet crafty YT friends. I used them horizontally across different points of the tag as well as in a tassle at the top.<\/p>\n

Lastly I added gold glitter all around the edge of the tag. I have a love hate relationship with glitter. I love the way it looks, but I hate the way it gets everywhere. \u00a0This is how much I love Julie! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
