This card is for both the Technique Lovers challenge (to make and use paper beads on your card) and the CAS challenge to be inspired by anything Irish. I was inspired by the colour of the flag and four leaf clovers and I'm hoping this card will bring someone luck.
This a very simple card where I first stamped the large four leaf clovers then masked them with the post it notes.
Next I flicked watered down Gumball Green ink all over the card top with a tooth brush. Once this was done I repeated it with watered down Pearl White acrylic.
The card looked a bit bare so I used a small clover stamp and randomly stamped to fill in some of the gaps.
Oops prior to any of this i stamped the little good luck greeting with watermark then applied the embossing powder and heated it.
I sponged around the edge of the card using a soft brush. Believe it or not I have been using make up brushes for this and they work very well.
Once all of hits was done I made my paper beads attached the white cord threaded the beads on and attached to card top to the base and that's all folks.
Thanks for looking, hope it inspired.

Lovely good luck 4 leaved shamrocks. I love the sponging around the edge, with the lighter center. Cool paper beads too. Thanks for your kind comment on my anniversary card for Elsie. She was blown away by the card and kept touching the photos.

Marg this looks terrific. Thanks for all the details, I love that I feel like I was standing right beside you when this was created. Your toothbrush splattering is brilliant. Your beads look terrific too.
