Irish Blessing

Are you feeling the luck o' the Irish this week? If so, head on over to Papercraft Star to play along with our challenge! With St. Patty's day only a day away, we've got a theme and photo challenge for you to play with - just link up your St. Patrick's creations based on this photo by Sunday! I used the pale greens from this photo to stamp a kraft card base with little shamrocks and a sentiment from the Waltzingmouse Stamps Irish Blessings set. Love them! I created the large shamrock by simply using a heart punch and adhering three hearts together with a jumbo brad! I popped the shamrock with foam squares and made a stem of some large rope-looking twine.

I am grateful to be referred to the Kraft Outlet Challenge this week which was to make a St. Patrick's Day card using kraft cardstock. I think I'll enter! Thank you, Beth!

Supplies: Stamps - Irish Blessings (WMS), Card Stock - Crumb Cake (SU!), Ink - Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip (SU!), DP - Earth Love (Cosmo Cricket), Rope/Brad (SU!), Foam Squares
