Shopping Our Stash # 243 - Oh My Lucky Charms!!

Happy Tuesday crafty friends! Thanks for popping by me wee blog today to check out the latest SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge.

This week, in honour of St. Patrick's Day, the SOS crew would like to see St. Patrick's Day theme on your project, or if that's not your thing, you can use a charm(s), or use the color green predominately.


I used the large heart punch (SU) to make my shamrock mask (I just hand cut the stem) and used a pencil eraser in Peeled Paint distress ink to create my shamrock.

Initially I stamped the sentiment right onto the shamrock and thought "UGH that looks awful" so I made the banner across the centre to cover it up LOL

I added the washi tape just for a splash of colour.

SHITE I USED TO MAKE THIS CARD:

  • White cardstock (Fireworx)
  • Peeled Paint distress ink (Tim Holtz)
  • Large heart punch (SU)
  • Happy Everything stamp set (Lawn Fawn)
  • Pencil with eraser
  • Washi tape
As always, we'd love for you to play along with us. Visit the SOS BLOG for all the details on the challenge and while you are there please share some crafty lovin' with the rest of the crew!

OMGee! I LOVE how you made a mask with a heart punch in the shape of a shamrock, THEN you used a pencil eraser to stamp the outline! Totally brilliant card!

So smart, how you made your not-so-wee mask!

Donna, I really like this card! The use of negative space for your shamrock is such a strong design element! Nice job and beautifully executed!
