Kiss Me I'm Irish !

I am hosting a Weekly Cartridge Exploration Challenge on the Cricut Circle Message Board. This week I chose to  use the Art Philosophy cartridge by Close to My Heart.  This cartridge is so awesome...lots of great images on it, a wonderful font, cards, tags, borders...you name it and this cart has it. 

With the last name of  O'Neal for our household, we hold St. Patrick's Day dear at our house so I decided to make myself a new pin to wear using Art Philosphy.

I used the tag feature for the background. The white

paper is actually white cardstock that I embossed

with the Simply Charmed Embossing folder with

Shamrocks on it. Then used antique ink over some of the embossed images

and added glossy accents over the top.  Other images have

Perfect Pearls rubbed over the top fo the embossing.

The stripped Shamrock is cut out of DCWV glitter paper

and outlined in Golden Rod Stickles and popped dotted up.

The lettering is also cut from Art Philosophy and gold

stickles added for some shine.  The tag is inked with antique gold ink.

I can hardly wait for St. Pat's day now so I can wear my pin !!!!!
