A big congrats to Beverly Sue, the newest Featured Stamper! She a lovely gallery & I chose THIS to case, I kept the bird & layout, but I used slightly different colors, a different bird & made mine a St. Patrick's Day card,
I die cut all the pieces & parts out of a w/c bg I had in my stash. It was a largish leftover from something else, made w/ yellows & greens Brushos crystals. The colors were perfect for a St. Patrick's Day card. The Lucky die was cut once out of the w/c bg & once out of a lime green I used underneath for a bit of a shadow. For the embossed edges, I used a scallop ribbons folder then cut away only one part to use as the edges on either side. The shamrock balloons were added w/ some Baker's twine strings.
Congrats again, Beverly Sue! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wonderful case of your inspiration piece and super to be able to use scraps in your stash for the die cuts - (I thought you had die cut first and then added the watercolor) but after reading the description, I realize it was artful placement of your cuts.
