I like to combine card challenges- it not only double challenges me but also gives me fresh new ideas to use for one challenge that I would not have thought of for another challenge. I was inspired by Jaydee’s shamrock over at The Paper Players this week to create a card for Pals Paper Arts # 153 Sketch Challenge and SU Only Challenge #65 Going Green. I definitely knew that SU Gumball Green was the perfect color for a shamrock and “lucky” me that SU Print Poetry DSP paper stack had 3 designs in that color- perfect for Pals Paper Arts! I played around with creating shamrocks by cutting one out, folding the paper four times and cutting out a heart half way and none of these ideas cooperated with me and looked nice. So, in the end, I formed a shamrock from the small heart in the Hearts-a-Flutter die set and jazzed it up with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder and a Dahlia In Color button.

I am loving all the green (my favorite color). Perfect card!
Thank You, Kristie. I love SU Gumball Green- so vibrant and fresh.
You are so ready for St. Patrick’s Day! I love your card. Thank you for playing at PPA!
Thanks, Patti. The holidays are passing by quickly this year…it’s March tomorrow!?!
Very cute! The dahlia works perfectly here. Thanks for joining SUO Challenges this week.
Thank You, Heidi. Since I used SU Gumball Green, I did not have any buttons except the dahlia to pick from…in the end, it just became part of the shamrock instead of sitting on it as a button would have done.
Love the three green designer paper pieces on this card, as well as the textured shamrock. Thanks for sharing your project with SUO Challenges.
Thanks, Deb. I did not realize there were 3 prints of just GG in the Print Poetry;)
What a gorgeous job you did with all the challenges! This is really a great card. Thanks for entering this in the SUO Challenge!
Very cute shamrock! I love your pattern paper mixes, Thanks for having fun with the PPA this week!
