This was a fun card to make this morning. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday and the theme from Simon Says Stamp. I started by searching through my papers to find anything green. I came up with a few fun, coordinating patterns. I did a little scoring on the base of my card- some diagonal lines on one half of the card. It's subtle, but it gives it a little texture. The clovers I made by using a heart stamp that I have. I just stamped them four ways to make it look like leaves, and then fussy cut them out. I have absolutely no St Patrick's Day themed stamps or anything, so I improvised. The stems of the clovers is just a bit of thick twine I cut and glued to the back. I was so excited to be able to use these green/yellow rhinestones. I've had them forever but never used them since they never seem to match the cards I'm making. The sentiment is stamped with Versa Mark and embossed in white. ***UPDATE- Wow! I'm so excited to announce that this card was selected as a challenge winner for Simon Says Stamp! *** Some products I used:

Hi Marie, Happy St. Paddy's Day! I'm stopping by to return the favor and check out your blog. Your card turned out perfect, I was wondering how everyone was making the clover, thanks for the tip. Your papers coordinate perfectly.
