Corned Beef and Cabbage

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Corned beef and cabbage, any one?  That is the recipe for the month at The Paper Mixing Bowl.

Here's what I did.  I used the Main Ingredients: Corned Beef, Green Cabbage and Pint o' Guinness as color inspiration.  For my Utensils I used Wee photos, stayed predominately green, placed a heart charm, and used the peony mask from Prima with modeling paste and green acrylic paint. I also stamped the background and the flowers with embossing ink and used gold metallic embossing powder.   For Lace, I laced plain brown ribbon through my punched paper because I thought the punched paper looked lacy enough.

How about the journaling? Well, I used the words "lucky" and "family."  I feel very lucky when I think about my family, however, I don't tend to write very much about them when I know that I will be posting on my blog.  I know that I would embarrass myself, kids or husband.

The flowers are from the Tim Holtz Sizzix die, Tattered Flowers.  Which there is a contest on over at his blog, and it is open until March 22nd.  I made my flowers with stamped and embossed paper, green mesh fabric, and muslin fabric that I used fabric stiffener on, followed by gold Glimmer Mist.
