Here is my creation!
Here is my creation!
I chose to use ODBD's "Simple Things" and ODBD's Custom "Clover Die"! The custom die makes it easy peasy to cut out the lovely clover! For the background I started with a piece of white c/s and stamped the Clover image several times. I then colored the blossoms only and embossed those using a versamark pen and clear E/P. I then brayered using certainly celery and added shading to the clover leaves using copic markers. The framing of the sentiment was done using Spellbinder's Circle Nesties!
Your next stop should be our talented Kathy's Blog!
We hope you enjoy the hop!
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to hug your loved ones!
Hope your day is beautiful! Hugs!

Goodness, Fran, you are a woman after my own heart - Love the green in this beauty and how you used the image in the background as well as cutting it out with the die to perch it on the opening! Great idea!
Green is not usually a fave of mine, but oh my, this green card is beautiful. Love the frame around the sentiment and how you created the background paper with this stamp, coloring and versamark is just outstanding. TFS

Francie,
I just love this card and now you've given me one more stamp to add to my wish list! This is a must to make a card for my Dad. He loves shamrocks. Beautiful card. Thanks!
Hi Fran~
This is a stunning card! I love your layout with the circle center, it is very eye-catching, especially with the piece of stamped clover that was cut out reaching over the opening. I think it is breath-taking the way you stamped the images on the bg and colored them, and used a VersaMarker to emboss the clover! This is such a beautiful card, Fran...thank you so much for sharing it with us!
