CottageCutz: Happy St. Patrick's Day Pup

Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends,

We have a huge Presidents Sale going on in the store right now! The sale ends tomorrow at midnight EST time. You can save as much as 70% on some of the items. It is a great time to stock up and cross off some of those dies on your wish list!! Check it out HERE.

Today, I am using 3 of the dies that are currently on SALE! The Shamrock and Valentine Scottie, Pierced Oval Set, and Spring Meadow.

Designer Steps:

1. Use the Shamrock & Valentine Scottie die and cut the following colors of card stock: light gray, gray, green, light green, yellow, brown and black. Not pictured is the grass cut with the Spring Meadow die on green card stock

2. Ink the edges of the pieces with matching inks. Assemble the pieces with a quick drying glue

3. For the card base use an A2 cream card stock

Cut light green card stock 4 x 5 1/4
Cut cream card stock 5 x 3 3/4 and use the second from the largest Pierced Oval to cut the oval out of the center
For the oval backing cut a piece of cream card stock 4 7/8 x 3 5/8

4. On the 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 piece ink the bottom half with green

5. Glue the cream inked card stock to the light green card stock. Glue the pieces of grass as shown. Use dimension tape on the back of the cream card stock with the cut out oval. Then pop it over the grass

6. Glue the pup to the center of the grass

7. I added 3 four leaf clovers to the edge of the card. To give the clovers dimension I used a stylus, white ink pen for the little veins and to soften the white I went over it with my YG03 Copic maker. I inked the edges of the leaves with a darker green ink. I also decided to change up the sentiment to make it pop a little more. Your card is complete
