Next week is St. Patrick's Day and there are several family members that I want to remember with handmade greeting cards. My cricut machine cut the pair of layered shamrocks (Celebrate with Flourish cartridge) which are featured within Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch #546. The background layer was created by swiping Clover Ink over the Lumen 3D folder (Simon Says Stamp) and running it through my Cuttlebug machine. The shamrocks were cut from Clover Card Stock and then brushed with a Clear Shimmer Brush for a little bit more sparkle. The sparkly gold strip and shamrock background layer is Gold Holographic Poster Board. The yellow gingham paper is very old Close to my Heart Buttercup B & T and the flag is Mint Card Stock.
Here is the fabulous Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch that inspired my card layout:
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
