Shamrock shaker card

My family and I don't really celebrate St. Patrick's day but I do love any shade of green as well as all things leafy and what's not to like about a cute shamrock? So each year I run into some crafty challenge that calls for a green, shamrock or st. Patrick day craft, and each year I end up creating one or two anyway,
I created this shaker card using my cricut and the Lazy Labels cartridge for the frame. I couldn't find a shamrock or even anything St. Patrick related in any of my 30+ cartridges, (Imagine that, lol) so I created one using the heart from that frame and the weld function in Design Space.
The background of this card is created using a blank white pager and blending 2 shades of Tim holtz distress inks together-green and brown, and distressing with a green glitter mist spray.
rest of the materials: DCWV glitter paper, Recollections cardstock, glass beads, green glitter, flower sequins, tiny gem stones, foam, clear protective film, inks and a clear phrase sticker.
I'm entering this card into this weeks "#296 St. Patrick's Day" challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog. http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.ca/
