two 4 one

I combined two challeges today...hence a two for one.  The layout is from Create with Connie and Mary:
A square.  Typically not my strenght but I went for it anyways!
Create Sketches Square-007
Then I headed over to Stampin' Celebration.  Here is this weeks inspiration:
BIG CHALLENGE! Not only do I not do a lot of square cards, the only stamp I have with a shamrock is from the new Sale a bration catalog, So Happy For You.  The shamrock is pretty small, so I went to my dies and created this:
Not too shabby...here's the recipe:
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Very Vanilla, Brights DSP
Ink: Crumb Cake (I used a sponge and sponged the card and vanilla edges)
Stamps: NONE
Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Circles #2, 2.5" Circle Punch, Hearts and Brackets Die, Scallop Edge Border Punch, Bright Buttons, Neutral Buttons, Hemp Twine, Perfect Polka Dots Emboss Folder, DIMENSIONALS (I think I've forgotten these in other posts, but I use these...A LOT!)

    Fabulous job with both challenges!!!! I love your shamrock. Very creative. Cute ribbon treatment too. And as for listing Dimensionals, I never remember to add them either. To me it would be like listing SNAIL. I use them on EVERY card!! :) Thanks for playing with us at the Stampin' Celebration!!
