Another reason to make cards for a fun holiday is coming up quickly especially with Easter at the end of March. So to get started I stamped my background with SimonSaysStamp Shamrock background stamp in black ink on a light minty green cardstock then ink blended more color over the panel. I stamped an older red rubber sentiment stamp from DRS Designs in versamark and heat set with gold embossing powder. The layering panel was gold embossed after inking the edges with versamark so the panel gold color would match the sentiment gold color.
This was my first attempt but my cardstock shifted on the second stamping so I stamped, heat embossed on vellum and die cut with a circle die to cover up my oops!
My card today will be shared with:
Words Power: Word Power #2 Challenge This challenge is to make the sentiment the focal point of your card.
Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time. Take care and be safe.

They both look great! Fun card!!
Both these are pretty and I like the colour a lot. Covering up your oops with vellum was a great idea.
Thanks, Johanna.
Great recovery! Love both of them, but the vellum one is my fav!
Thanks, Diana, I appreciate you.
These are both great. The vellum one is also my favorite. Perfect oops cover up.
Thanks, Gerry, the vellum makes the sentiment stand out a little better.
Fun cards! I like the vellum save, but both look great.
Thanks, Lisa.
So interesting how your brain works. Great save
LOL…I was determined not to toss my background.
Great save. I like both. The shamrock background is really cool
Thanks, Judy.
