Lucky Clover

Happy Monday! 

Over at Creative Colour Challenge #74, Vickie dropped a great color combination this morning. The green and coral immediately sent me to St. Patrick's Day. When I start a color challenge I usually look for patterned paper that matches the colors. Often times that will lead me to the stamp set I want to use. Today, the fun patterns of the Butterfly Kisses DSP led me to this week's sketch at Just Add Ink #637.

I started by cutting a 3 3/4" by 5" piece of the Calypso Coral Butterfly Kisses DSP. I cut this from corner to corner, long ways in both directions to create 4 triangles. I cut a piece of Starry Sky with the same measurements- do not cut. I then glued the Calypso Coral triangles to the top and bottom. Be careful cutting and gluing if your paper is directional.

I layered this card front to a piece of 3 7/8" by 5 1/8" of Shaded Spruce cardstock. After wrapping and tying Starry Sky In-Color Baker's Twine, I glued this to a Thick Basic White card base.

Using the Layering Circle dies, I cut a white circle and a coordinating Calypso Coral scalloped circle. I used a blending brush and added just a touch of Starry Sky ink to the circle. I glued the circles together and attached them to the card front.

With the Lucky Clover stamp set, I stamped the clover with Shaded Spruce ink and the sentiment with Calypso Coral ink. I used the punch to cut out the shamrock and attached both with dimensionals.

I added some Elegant Faceted Gems to finish my card.
