Color Hues #105 and Double D Going Green

A couple of weeks ago I spent some time just playing with stencils.  One of the cards I made works great for both the Color Hues (Green and White) and Double D (Going Green) challenges.

The layered stencil called Square Dance is from The Greetery.  I used Evergreen Bough, Pine Needles and Lost Shadow Distress Inks to color it, trimmed it down and added it to a white card base.  I thought the clover from PTI's Stemmed Statements went well with the colors and worked for a masculine card.  It's colored with the same inks and placed on the Modern Oval from Spellbinders.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts. 

Edited to Add:  The D and D gals reminded me of their Stencil Fun Challenge so my card is off to visit them too, minus the splatter twist.

CAS Watercolor - Luck of the Irish

I wasn't sure what I could do for the CAS Watercolor challenge until I remembered my Stemmed Statements set from PTI had a clover in it.  With a little surgery I was able to make that a four-leaf clover.

It's colored with Zigs, die cut and placed on an embossed panel cut with a crimped rectangle from The Greetery.  I found some green ribbon (included in a previous EH order) and stapled it on along side the sentiment tag.

Thanks for dropping by. 

Addicted to CAS #131

Jaydee is our host at Addicted to CAS and she has chosen this as our code word for this challenge.

As luck would have it (pardon the pun 😉) I had what I thought was a great stamp for the challenge.

The clover image, tag and sentiment are from PTI.  I stamped the clover on a label die from CF and colored it with PolyChromos pencils.  The label was popped up on fun foam and a second tag was cut from purple and the two tied together with twine.

The Design Team has some wonderful cards inspired by the code word.  Take a look at theirs and then make your own 'lucky/luck' card.  We'd love to see yours in the gallery.
