This release has some of my favorite things including some four leaf clovers in the new Lucky You stamps and dies set! This set and super fun sentiments are perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or to send a little luck ALL YEAR LONG! The card I have for you today is exactly that…

I used the Lucky You Sentiments stamps and coordinating die to make some fun clovers. I stamped a bunch of them in embossing ink onto some Distress Watercolor cardstock and embossed them using Mowed Lawn Distress Embossing Glaze. Once they were heat embossed, I put the paper into my Splat Box and Sprayed them with a combination of Bubbling Cauldron and Holly Branch Distress Mica Sprays and cut them out.

To create the card, I started with a white notecard, then cut out the Whirl Diamond Plate wafer die (from the Sweetheart release) and built my card on top of that. I cut out the Lucky You wafer die from Simon Says Stamp Matte Gold Cardstock and added it to my card.

I added a bunch of the cut out clovers and then splattered my card with Gilded Foundry Wax and some Black Soot Distress Paint. To complete the card, I added a sentiment that I stamped on black cardstock and embossed in white from the Lucky You Sentiments. I hope you enjoyed this card and maybe you will make some for your friends this St. Patty’s Day to let them know how lucky they are 🙂
