I love anything Irish so I'm really looking forward to today's sneak peeks!! Taylor's Baker's Dozen and I are showcasing Wreath of Luck, a new Whimsical Wishes petite set that coordinates with the wreath die released last month. I couldn't resist making some "Irish" buttons for St. Paddy's Day and these were so quick...
I found 2 1/4" reusable 'fun buttons' at Michael's (I really wanted a button maker but couldn't get my hands on one in time and probably couldn't justify buying one!). The back is easily removed. I printed 2" circles on cardstock first, stamped my images from Wreath of Luck within the circle, coloured with copics and prismacolors, sponged the edges with 'shabby shutters' distress ink and finally added some stickles to the shamrocks. Once dry, I cut the button insert with nestabilities and popped the button back in. Easy!
I used last week's Mojo 175 sketch for inspiration for my card and my "Kiss me. I'm Irish!" button for the focal image.
Here you can see how I punched two holes in the circular mats to insert the pin.
Can't wait to see what the Baker's Dozen has cooked up with Wreath of Luck today!
Kiss an Irish friend!
