I thought that I would try a little something different and go outside of my comfort zone. I usually don't use my die cuts this way. I usually just use them for my sentiments.
As you can see in the second picture, I used the clover die from this set of holiday dies. The other die I used is from Ribbon Messages by Hero Arts stamp and cut.
I cut a piece of St. Patrick's Day paper and adhered it to the back of my card front after using the ribbon die. Then I used a double sided sticky circle to adhere the clover and added some sequins and a green gem.
The sentiment is a wood mounted St. Patrick's Day stamp.
The third picture is the same card, however, I replaced the green gem on the clover with a yellow-gold one. I think it looks better than the green one and it brings out the clover better.
