It's time for a new Color Challenge! Mary is hosting and has chosen Color Me Clover, Basic Black and Gold with a dessert option to Anything Goes. I've chosen to make a shamrock from 4 die cut hearts.
I have to give full credit to the awesome Laura Bassen who came up with this design. I've linked her post at the Simon Says Stamp blog where she has a great video demonstrating how she created it. I changed things up by making this a shamrock with overlapping gold die cut hearts (her ink was in rainbow order and the hearts were die cut from vellum).
I die cut the Deco heart die from scrap white card stock, then used it as a mask to ink up the hearts, meeting the point in the middle for all four. While that dried, I cut four Deco hearts from gold mirror paper and adhered them to the panel. I think the rest is pretty self explanatory, but I do have more detail on my blog.
Thanks for looking and I hope you'll join the Color Challenge this week!

Stef, your card is gorgeous with a great design! I love how you combined the hearts and included the gold die cuts. The sentiment looks great with the black backing! Great use of the colors, Stef!
