Shamrock Card

Hello! I hope you're having a fabulous day thus far. :) For my card today I started by stamping my background with the awesome new Lucky Day Shamrock background stamp from PeachyKeenStamps. I stamped it with Tim Holtz embossing ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I used distress inks in Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint to add the color.....I stamped the adorable shamrock's from the February 2012 set from PeachyKeenStamps on white cardstock 4 times. Two of them I cut around to make the outline white part. The other two I rough colored with my foam blending tool and distress inks in Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint. This is a SUPER FAST way of coloring, and you can control the blending too. After the rough color just cut right on the stamped line and paper piece onto the outline part. Voila! ;) 
The adorable faces on the shamrock's are also from the February 2012 set from PeachyKeenStamps. CUTE! I added a little glossy accents to make their eyes sparkle. OH and they are both on wobbles so they wiggle! I LOVE wobbles....they make a good card GREAT!
