A Pot of Gold...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Do you think there's a pot of gold at the end of this double rainbow?  Isn't it amazing...two nights ago this is what we came home to after a quick bite out for dinner.  The boys were amazed by the size of the rainbow.  I made the mistake of asking Collin if he thought the leprechaun left a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  He desperately wanted to find it!  If you look closely here...you'll see there is a double rainbow too!
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm sharing another card using the Verve Blessings set.  This card inspired by this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  I decided to use some bright cheery colors instead of all green.  Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day and if you love college basketball that you're enjoying the start of March Madness...I know we are!
Ingredients:  My Mind's Eye Stella and Rose DSP; Verve Blessing Stamps; Stampin' Up Cardstock; PTI Twine; Stampin' Up Basic Black and Pear Pizzazz Ink

WOW, I've never seen a double rainbow before! That sure is gorgeous. That's so cute about Collin wanting to find the pot of gold. :D

I love the papers and verse you used on the card! The twine looks fabulous at an angle, too.

Oh, yea, we LOVE March Madness here too, Lynn! Got my teams all picked out and so do the boys and hubby! We all put in $10.00 and winner takes all! Hoping Duke goes all the way, only because that's who I've got on my board to go all the way. Love the rainbow pics. . .so pretty. . .and your card is lovely too! Love your stitching and the twine placed at an angle!

That photo is stunning!!! My kids asked yesterday if there was going to be a pot of gold waiting for them when they got up this morning! LOL I mean really? It's not Christmas!

Oh...thanks so much for sharing those photos! What a gorgeous site! My almost five year olds have been quite obsessed with finding gold and little red bearded men! LOL!
I love your Irish blessing card! BEAUTIFUL!
