With St. Patrick's Day coming up this week, it seemed fitting for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge theme to be "a bit o' green." I made a shamrock card. And spoiler alert! I didn't have a shamrock die.
I started by cutting the card shape using my trusty Sizzix Big Shot and Memory Box's Fringed Scallop dies. I stamped some text using Tim Holtz's Glitch 2 set and also tore a scrap of green graph paper out of Amy Tangerine's new Paper Play: Cut, Craft and Create book and glued that to my tag.
Next I added some white paint and scribbled around it with Distress Watercolor Pencils.
While that dried, I decided to create a shamrock using a heart die from Honey Bee's Heart Hugs die set. I cut out three hearts and painted them green. I also cut a stem.
I put everything together and finished off the card by cutting out "Lucky" using AALL & Create's Letter Soup dies.
