So I've been wanting to make this card after seeing something similar made by Birgit that she linked to the CAS Water Color Challenge. I loved the deep green achieved with Brushos on the clover.
And I needed one more St. Pat's card to send to my cousin who is in assisted living where they are not allowing visitors now due to the Corona Virus.
So I grabbed my brushos, watercolor paints and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink to create this card.
I sprinkled Emerald Green Brushos over a panel of watercolor card, spritzed with water and dried it with my heat tool. Then I die cut as many shamrocks as I could get out of the panel.
I inked the reeds stamp in the background with Distress Ink - spritzed with water and pressed it onto the watercolor panel. I adhered the shamrocks with foam dots and then added black watercolor splatter.
Then I adhered the panel to the card base that was cut with Noted Scalloped Square Die.
I love how this came out and now I can make several more for next year since I cut out so many shamrocks!
Have a great weekend everyone - stay safe and healthy!

I love St Paddy’s Day cards and this one is fabulous.
The Brushos give a nice artsy look along with the reeds and ink splatters. I saved to my Favorites.
