St. Patrick's Day Treasure

Today I have a bit more information for you about the great St. Patty's Day Treasure Hunt being sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps and PaperTemptress.  The contest runs all week and you have the chance to win some fun prizes so be sure to visit the PaperTemptress's Community blog for more details on how to find your clues and enter the contest.

For my card today I used some of the pretty papers from the KSS St. Patty's Day Green Paper Package from the Paper Temptress and the brand new Kitchen Sink Stamps set Multi-Step Shamrocks & Clovers.  This is another awesome mini set!! It's the perfect for you to give a try if you haven't tried KSS before! There are a lot of clovers in this mini set as well as a wonderful little color recipe!  I stamped the clovers on Neenah Ivory paper using this recipe:  Step 3 - New Leaf (Papertrey Ink), Step 2 - Bamboo Leaves (Memento), Step 1 - New Sprout (Memento)

After I had stamped a bunch of the clovers randomly I die cut a circle with my Nestabilities.  I then stamped the sentiment from Ready 4 Any Holiday on vellum and die cut that with the next smaller circle Nestabilities and layered it on top.  The green scalloped circle was die cut from Emeraude Sparkle, the background panel is Khaki Ruche and the cardbase is Neenah Green, all of which are part of the paper pack.  I stamped one final shamrock, cut it out and popped it up on the front. Of course, I had to add a bit of bling!! :)


For more inspiration using Kitchen Sink Stamps Multi Step Shamrocks & Clovers along with KSS St. Patty's Day Green Paper Package from Paper Temptress be sure to visit the other KSS Crew blogs. While I don't have a part of the Phrase Word, they just might!
