Happy St. Patrick's Day! Thought I'd slip in a quick "green" card today and may the luck of the irish be with you all. This is a simple CAS card. I've used a new die from MFT and the darker cardstock and button are also MFT. The lighter cardstock is CTMH. The greeting stamp is MFT and is double stamped to create a subtle shadow. I used Memento and MFT ink and the hemp is unknown. Last, but not least, I used glossy accents inside the squares (which are layered 4 deep to give a chipboard effect). Enjoy your St. Patty's Day!

 Close up so you can see shadow and glossy accents :)

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:
