Superstitious

Hello All,

Today I will be playing along with The Card Concept, Double D, Sunday Stamps, and Color Hues card challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy and have a good laugh.

The clover centered in the gray area was stamped and then masked off. It was then ready for background stamping. The clover and its sentiment are one red rubber stamp that I divided into two separate stamps. This way I didn't have to worry about residual ink getting where it doesn't belong. 😊

I stamped the clover background twice. Once in light gray ink, then masking the light area, I stamped the rest in black ink. I removed both masks and ended up with a nice one layer card.

I wanted to keep the card relatively flat. I knew I wanted to add layers like the gold trim and sentiment. The sentiment was stamped using white pigment ink only on dark brown cardstock.

Challenges Entered:

Color Hues: #59-Green and Gold
Double D Challenges: Everything is Coming Up Green
Sunday Stamps: SSC304 Sketch Time!
The Card Concept: #190- Lucky Charm

   

It is bad luck to be superstitious. I guess... It may depend on your outlook or what you have been brought up to believe, no matter how silly. For instance, I will never walk under a ladder! I know it's silly but well... You never know. Right? 😒

Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. Lots of good crafting vibes are headed your way. I hope you all have a fantastic day.
All the best,
