Hello, hostess Tami here with a quick St. Patty's Day card that could also be used for other occasions too. After all, 4 leaf clovers are lucky all year long!
I really like the Hexagons2Love set from The {Stamps} Of Life as you can use it to build borders, backgrounds, shapes and more. I thought it would be fun to use it to make a 4 leaf clover.
I also wanted to use ColorBox Pigment Inks, a real "workhorse" ink in the ClearSnap line, and use several shades of it. With all the new inks and more being released from ClearSnap it's easy to take the "basics" for granted. ColorBox Pigment Inks are so nice and creamy and wonderfully opaque as well. Pair them with Top Boss Embossing Powders, like was done on this card, to add some super bright shine as well...
I scanned and reduced a vintage bingo card from my collection to use as the background for the 4 leaf clover. You can find images of similar cards online...
For the "LUCK" letters, white cardstock was inked with both Lime and Green Pigment Inks applied using the Stylus & Tips. Then the letters were stamped in Alpine and everything was embossed using Clear Embossing Powder...
