Waltzingmouse St. Paddy's Day Blog Hop

Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!  Sorry no green beer here but I'll be having Crockpot o'Corned Beef later if you'd like to join me!  :o)
Today is the Waltzingmouse St. Patrick's Day Blog Hop and Im super excited to be able to join.  I actually made this card for my friend's mother-in-law, Rita who's visiting Hawaii allllllllll the way from Connecticut.  She's always bringing little gifts for me and the kids so I wanted to make her something extra special.  
So here's my card inked up and distressed everywhere!  Ever since I discovered Ranger Distress Inks everything gets a shabby/vintage look.  Can't help it, Im in love with Tim Holtz.  Nah, just kidding, I think Im going through a phase right now and nothing is safe from getting sponged with Tea Dye ink!  The sentiment is from a download made available here. That gorgeous elegant scrolly circle is from WMS Vintage Circle stamp set.  Isn't it fabulous?  I don't have anything like it and when I saw the samples I just knew I needed my very own!
Thank you Claire for making your digital images available and for making such fabulous stamp sets! I think Im in love with you too, lol!! ;o>


Supplies:
Stamps: WMS Vintage Circles; WMS Digital Download Sentiment
Ink: Ranger Distress Ink Peeled Paint, Antique Linen, Tea Dye; Brilliance Galaxy Gold, Versamark
CS: PTI Stampers Select White, Ripe Avocado
Other Stuff: Gold Embossing Powder; Ripe Avocado Satin Ribbon, Vintage Button, Gina K Gold Cord, Rhinestones, Circle Small Nesties, Label 1 Nesties, Eyelets
