All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.

Pot of gold


I made this card for this weeks freshly made sketches challenge.
We have this animated DVD movie that shows a leprechaun's home is inside a little hill that is covered with clovers and he has his treasure inside his little home. So, that's what I was thinking about when I was making this card.
As you can see, I used the ribbon dies from my Ribbon messages stamp and cut set. I thought I would spice it up a little bit instead of using a rectangular design. The printed paper that I used is from a 12x12 sheet of St. Patrick's Day craft paper.
The clover is from my Holiday Sampler dies. The pot of gold is just an embellishment.
The sentiment is a wood mount stamp. I colored in the little pot and the word "gold" because I didn't want it to look too plain. I added the gems on the clovers and the sequins to give it a better look.
I hope you like my card and my take on this weeks sketch challenge.

Lucky Clover



#638-2020-03.
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.
I am posting this card on this week's freshly made sketches challenge.
