interesting deets:
i was inspired by the amazing free templates on MFT created by the awesome Kathy Daume (i have 2 of her template cards in progress but got crazy inspired & sidetracked by this project LOL!)
i took a 5.5"x5.5" dk green cardstock scrap & made a shamrock template on it using heart punches- i punched & lightly tacked 3 XLG hearts down & then traced around them, & drew in a stem. i cut the whole shape out and removed my hearts. i punched some smaller hearts out of the blingy cardstock to add in the middle as accents (a la Kathy's awesome ideas)- and wa la- a cute shamrock 'tree' for my 4 leaf clover girl to stand under!! so simple & super sweet- no?!
The image is stamped several times- her shirt & pants are paper pieced, and her arms, clover and even her feet/ground are layered a second time for some fun dimension.
