{Simple Shamrock Art}

Hey, y'all!  Recently, I shared this shamrock art at Through the Eyes of the Mrs.  Today I want to share it with y'all.
To make this art, you will need a frame, scrapbook paper, a heart paper punch, and double stick tape.
Start by punching four hearts from your scrapbook paper.  Cut a stem shape from the paper as well.
Use the paper that comes in your frame as a pattern to cut a background piece of scrapbook paper for your frame.
Arrange your hearts and stem in a shamrock shape on your background paper.  Then use double stick tape to adhere the pieces.
You may want to leave the shamrock like this, but I wanted to add a little banner to it.
I cut a banner shape out of a coordinating scrapbook paper and stamped the word lucky on it.  I used double stick tape to adhere it to the middle of the shamrock.  Then it's time to put the shamrock in your frame.
When I got the shamrock in the frame, I decided I wanted to make the detail on the frame pop, so I applied some Rub 'n Buff with my finger to the raised pieces.  And then I decided I liked the finished product.
 This is a fun little piece of St. Patrick's Day decor.
And the best part?  It was really easy AND inexpensive to make!  If you can make a project that is both, you're pretty LUCKY.  ;)  Do you decorate for every holiday or just the big ones?

  3. Hi, Bethany

    This turned out great and I love that rub and buff. I keep picking it up at the store and putting it back. I wasn't sure if it was worth it, but I see it is. Have a great week.
