Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 Hello Friends,

I hope you are all enjoying the nice Spring days, I know I sure am!  Today I am sharing another St. Patrick's Day card that I made using the Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram Four Leaf Clover stamps and die.  I am going to enter this card in Colorful Options March Challenge ~ It's Not Easy Being Green.

Ingredients:

Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram Four Leaf Clover stamp

Colorado Craft Compamy Anita Jeram Four Leaf Clover die

Green Papers

White card stock

Green plaid paper

Neenah Solar White paper

Black ink

Copic markers 

Scallop frame dies

Happy St. Patrick's Day stamp

For this A2 card I started by making the card base with White card stock.  I took the Green Plaid paper and the Scalloped Frame die and cut the paper out and added it to the card base.  I took a piece of Neenah Solar White paper, Black ink and the Colorado Craft Company Anita Jeram Four Leaf Clover stamp and stamped it on the paper.  I colored it with Copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut it out.  I attached that to a Light Green piece of paper that I had cut out with a smaller scalloped edge frame.  I added that to a Darker Green rectangle and added all of that to the card base.  I took the Happy St. Patrick's Day stamp and Black ink and stamped that onto the card.
