Quiet the mind & the soul will speak

world overpower the

stillness of your soul.

St.Patrick's day greeting cards

A land of mist and rolling green

where ancient tales are heard and seen

with rugged coasts and sky of grey

and heathered hills along the way

a gentle rain, a sunny smile

The magic of the Emerald Isle.

For my first card, I have used this beautiful vintage photograph along with these lovely boho, shabby chic papers. I have also added these wonderful vintage ledgers.

For my other cards, I have used some more vintage photos and a collection of papers from the same boho / shabby chic paper kit. Vintage ledgers have also been added. To finish, I adhered some torn washi tape and butterfly wing ephemera.

I have been inspired by the rich emerald green colour theme of this inspiration image. I also love that Ireland has many folklores, one of which are the Fae folk! I live in England but have always wanted to travel to Ireland and experience the beauty and history of the country itself.

My old friend was a native of Ireland and I remember the wonderful childhood stories she relayed to me about growing up in Ireland!
