Charming Luck or Lucky Charm?


All of the challenges this week seem to be in celebration of the green! I don't really have many cartridges that cater to this holiday.  So, I went from the Irish good luck charm angle!  

I started by welding clovers from Art Philosophy, Paper Doll Dress Up, and St. Patrick's Day Rainbow (a free one right now) and welded them into my Sweet Leaf CS.  I embossed it with a sort of Celtic Cross design folder from Couture Creations.  The sentiment is in CTMH Artbooking Font and was done with the Cricut.

The ribbon is CTMH Topiary.  The charm (tags) were cut from White and Topiary using the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge and stamped in Topiary using CTMH Horseshoes (retired).  The background of the tag was stamped with the icing from the cupcake in the Art Philosophy bundle stamp.

I attached the luck charm with a jewelry ring and a piece of scrap ribbon.  I embellished with the white gems from from the Licorice Opaque gems and colored one of them Topiary with my CTMH Topiary Dark marker.  This really does work!  It does not rub off!

This simple and quick card is making its way over to Exploring Cricut, Bitten by the Bug 2, and Heart 2 Heart, and Cut It Up.

May you all find Irish Blessings this St. Patrick's Day!

    1. Thanks, Brenda! That folder was a special purchase used on Katie's wedding invitations. I think it's called Washed Away.
