Hello there,
I'm so happy to be back with this St Patrick themed card showcasing shamrock items from Pretty Pink Posh. As very often I was inspired by pattern papers to pick the color palette, here it's the St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack by Echo Park, and it was so much fun to assemble my Decorative Shamrock. And I'll have another St Patrick themed card for you guys in a couple of days, so stay tuned!
I started off by cutting a large Pinking Rectangle panel out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, I masked the stitched edges off with washi tape, covered the whole panel with spun sugar oxide ink, and created a fun clover pattern using the Layered Shamrocks stencil set along with worn lipstick, rusty hinge, fossilized amber, mowed lawn and broken china oxide inks. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add white splatters all over my panel, and then did the same with liquid stardust. Next I removed the washi tape, cut a dark green polka dot 5,5 x 4,25 inches panel, attached it to a white card base using double sided sticky tape, and stuck my shamrock panel on top using 1mm foam tape.
Next I worked on my Decorative Shamrock. First, I used the intricate die multiple times to cut all the tiny shapes out of different pattern papers & cardstock from the Echo Park St Patrick's Day 6x6 paper pack, and gold glitter cardstock as well. I cut the front piece out of a light green pattern paper from the Lawn Fawn Spiffy Speckles 6x6 paper pack, and added texture to it: white splatters, fossilized amber distress spritz splatters and rustic wilderness distress ink splatters. I cut three identical "middle" pieces out of white cardstock, and cut the base piece out of white cardstock. I attached one of the "middle" pieces to the base using liquid glue, stuck all the tiny pieces inside each space using liquid glue again, attached the two remaining "middle" pieces on top of my panel, and finally the front piece, still using liquid glue.
I cut a large Eyelet Circle panel out of vellum, added white splatters to it, and when dry, stuck it to my Layered Shamrocks panel using 1mm foam squares, and then attached my Decorative Shamrock to the vellum panel using 1mm foam squares again.
Next I worked on my greeting and used the Lucky Shadow die set to create the first part of it. I cut the shadow piece out of white cardstock, the word "Lucky" out of white cardstock three times and out of gold glitter cardstock one time. I attached the three white "Lucky" words on top of each other using liquid glue, stuck the gold glitter word on top, attached the whole piece to the white shadow element using liquid glue again, and then stuck the word at the bottom of my card using 1mm foam squares.
I white heat embossed "To be your friend" from Lucky To Know You on dark pink cardstock, cut it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and attached that banner below "Lucky" using foam squares.
Next I used Lucky Holder Additions dies to cut the hat pieces out of dark grey cardstock, gold glitter cardstock and pattern paper, the coin and the clovers, and used Valentine Bucket Additions dies to cut an additional heart that I stuck to the largest clover. I assembled the hat, added white splatters and liquid stardust splatters to the clovers, white splatters and fossilized amber distress spritz splatters to the coin, and when everything was dry, I attached those elements to the card using foam squares. Finally I picked a white heart from the Valentine Hearts confetti mix that I attached to the small clover.
