A Little Luck

Hello all,

Connor and I survived last week.  He started feeling better last Wednesday.  I however, started feeling really worn out.  We were both glad to see the weekend.  We both took a nap or two...and we are starting to feel like real people again.

To celebrate our transition into March, here is a St. Patrick's Day card.  Hope this bring a little luck to your day!  I tried something a little different on the edge of the white Card Stock.  I used my Versamark stamp pad to wipe ink on the edges and then embossed them with gold powder.  I love this technique.   The only thing to keep in mind is that you don't get a whole lot of control over where the powder sticks.  Some places it is thin...other's thick.   Each card is truly unique.  


I added some gold embossing powder to the edge of the card stock

  2. Beautiful coloring and I love that gold edge! Super cool idea. I did it on a black card recently and it worked out fun, but your minimal look is much better than mine. Lovely card and blog.
