This is my March challenge card for the Natural Beauty challenge that Nancy (nwilliams6) and I have been encouraging each other to do. This month we were supposed to make a green card with this old SU! set we both absolutely love. It was supposed to be posted on the 17th in honor of St. Pat's day but, sometimes life gets in the way, so we are posting today.
I decided to use the small single flower as a four-leaf clover. I stamped it over and over. Since I was going to fussy cut them, I used sponge daubers to color them with 2 different greens, and then cut them out. I knew that a stair step card was a good way to get depth, so that's what I made. The wheat is die cut from lime green cardstock, and I added some details to make it look more realistic. I added a tall panel on the farthest fold to put more wheat on. Then I just piled on the clover.
I think it's interesting how Nancy and I both used a single stamp repeatedly for this challenge. You can check out her wonderful butterflies here.
Thanks, Nancy, for a great challenge this month. If anyone wants to join us, please do. Send us a PM with a link to your card, so we know that you have.

Wow, Melody, I love that you made the flowers into clover! What a great idea, and I love the foliage and that great sentiment. You did a good job with this card shape - I can never get mine to come out. Fabulous job - I love our NB challenges!!!
