I don't know how Irish this card is, but I had fun playing around with a few different Brusho and Lindy's Magicals powders that I had added water to, and then painted several different backgrounds till I came up with one I liked. I also did some splattering on the one I chose, and the splattering had some Lindy's Magicals in it, so there's some really pretty sparkle on it, which of course I couldn't seem to capture with my camera! But IRL it really makes this card not quite so plain!!
I kept this card very CAS using only a white frame (PTI's Pierced Feature Frames) and a simple die cut from Poppystamps (Hampstead Bloom) that I thought I might be able to loosely term as a 4 leaf clover!
I added a simple white embossed strip on black for my sentiment (The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You) to finish off my card.
This challenge is still open till the 24th, so check out all the inspiration and play along with us right HERE...we'd love to see YOU in the gallery!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
A lovely water splattered green background for your lovely white stem Marcia! That flower could very well be a clover! So pretty with the white framing and bold black sentiment strip! xx
ReplyDeleteYou may think this is 'plain' but I think it's pretty as a picture - Lucky you to have these fabulous green Lindy's!
