St. Patrick's Day: Pot of Gold Punch Art

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!  A touch of color and a touch of tradition makes for a fun design. This card was featured at the February Punch Art class and I though it fitting to share with you today. In person this card has a colorful bounce and a glitzy happiness.  The brushed gold card stock is of course gold in color but also has small subtle flecks of shimmer that brings oodles of interest.  The rainbow is a sassy show piece by itself!  After the Stampin' Write Markers are used to make a wonderful "swoosh" of color, a swipe of the 2-Way Glue Pen and sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds you'll see the card simply come to life!
