The Luck of the Irish!

Hi there,

Today I'd like to celebrate the upcoming St. Patty's Day with my card using the Lil' Garden Cottage Set 943 along with the Lil' Leprechaun Digi Set 3154.

I started with stamping the cottage in my stamp positioner on to kraft cardstock.in Hybrid ink Acorn Brown. I colored the cottage using a bleach pen and some Copics. 

I then placed the image back in the stamp positioner and inked up the stamp with Versamark and heat set with Clear Detail. 

I die cut and embossed light green cardstock with the Spellbinders Card Creator Deco Lux 2. Super Adhesive Sheet was attached to the back and 24KT Gold was burnished in to the sticky adhesive. 

I then printed out the pot of gold and the leprechaun from the digi set. I inked the pot of gold all over with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Detail.  

I used my Versamarker Pen to apply Smokey (one of the new Super Thick Powders) to the pot.  

One last application of Versamarker and then heat embossed with Super Thick Clear - lovely shiny pot! 

A piece of the green cardstock was cut with the Tonic Good luck die. It was applied with Versamark and heat embossed first with Clear Detail then again with Smokey. 

A piece of 2 1/2" Tear-ific Tape was attached to another scrap of the green cardstock and was die cut with the Spellbinders Ribbon Tag Trio Two. The protective backing was peeled off the tag and the Good Luck was stuck to the adhesive, with 24KT Gold being burnished in to the remaining sticky area. 

The Leprechaun was then glittered up with various green glitters, Margarita, Lator Gator, Gecko and Shamrock, applied with the Nuvo Smooth Precision Pen. 

A piece of green organdy ribbon was threaded through the tag die cut and adhered at the back of the card before being layered to a white card base. The cottage, leprechaun and pot of gold were all adhered to the card front with mounting foam.
