I went the clean and simple route today. I printed a piece of Waltzingmouse Celtic Squares Digital paper for my base. Then I stamped the sentiment from Irish Blessings directly on the paper. I cut the shamrocks with the smallest Nested Egg nestability, embossed and sponged it and added a little gem to each one - not sure if that shows up or not on my pic....?
I wrapped some baker's twine around twice, tied a bow and adhered the shamrock with foam dimensionals - oh - and I sponged the edges of the patterned paper which sort of turned up the corners!
My card also works for the SCS challenge HYCCT05 - to use twine.
You know the drill by now! - go check out the WMS Sketch Blog and get inspired by the cards the Mischief Makers and other DT members have created this week!
