"Luck", in general terms, tends to be as good as it is bad. I'm fortunate that I have experienced both- to balance out my life.
Ted, from Happily Ever Crafter issued a Tribute to St. Patrick Color Challenge (sheesh, these colors scared me at first, Ted, but I am so happy with the way the card turned out!)...but it also called for the use of a three leaf shamrock. While on the hunt for one, I found these digital images from Paper Smooches, offered during their guest design contest. I don't think I've ever searched for a three leaf shamrock before making this card, but I have been a sucker to search for the elusive four-leaf clover...
I was also awarded this from Brandi at Yankee Belle Stamper. Thanks, Brandi! Brandi is so fun and talented...love what she does with PTI stamps. I'd like to give a shout out to a few other blogs that I've started to follow recently, these ladies are also so very talented!

ReplyDeleteKaren, you nailed this card! And you're right...the colors go suprisingly well together, don't they? :) I love the composition of this card and the shamrock is perfect. Thanks for playing along with me this month!

ReplyDeleteBright, but it makes me happy!!
ReplyDeleteLove these bright colors together... and while not not on a hunt for a 3 leaf clover, now at least I know where I can find one.
ReplyDeleteI like the "wake-up" colors Karen. And your search for a 3-leaf clover means less work for the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteThis card is great! So colorful and perfect!
ReplyDeleteKaren, I love this card! I love the bright orange! You nailed it! And that shamrock is so cute.....I was checking out those PS digi stamps....and thinkin I might have to play around with them. They look super fun.
ReplyDeleteOoh, love this! Way to rock those bright colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is too stinkin cute! I love the font of the & the clover! How fun! I love Chari's blog too :D, will check out the other gals.
ReplyDeleteLove this card!!! You rocked these colors Miss Lady!!!
ReplyDeleteI think this may be my favorite St. Patrick's Day card I've seen this year. I'm just not much of a fan of them: too much green. Your orange gives it the flair many others are missing. {imo} Nice!
ReplyDeleteAwww...thanks Karen for the shout-out! That means so much coming from someone so mega-talented. :) Good luck with the Paper Smooches guest DT spot! Love the colors in the card!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Karen! Had to laugh at your comment about this color combo~~feel the same way. But, I think your card reflects them really well :o)
ReplyDeleteso fun! who knew a 3 leaf clover could bring as much of a smile as a 4 leaf one? (well, admittedly I did, as I love the zen they create when pulled from the grass....)
ReplyDelete:D
