Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I just wanted to post a card to wish everyone a very Happy St. Patrick's Day! I made this card for Bombshell Stamps' March Sketch Challenge. Here is the sketch:

...and here is the card that I created for that sketch challenge:

I'm really tickled pink (or should I say green?) with how it turned out. The card base is SU's Chocolate Chip. The patterned papers are from Basic Grey's Lemonade series. The jar image is from Stampin' Up and the adorable little leprechaun is from Bombshell Stamps' Holiday Accessories stamp set. Both are stamped onto GP110 white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with a combination of Copic and SU markers. I cut the jar lid out seperately and attached it to the top of the jar, then cut the entire jar out. I attached it to a piece of YoYo Yellow (that has been embossed in the Cuttlebug using the Dots embossing folder) using pop dots and then layered that on a piece of SU's brushed metallic gold cardstock. Some gold brads in the corners and then attached it to the center of the card. I then computer generated a little poem and sponged that around the edges with SU's Close to Cocoa ink and layered it onto a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. More gold brads in the upper corners and then the poem is attached using pop dots.
