Feeling Lucky? For SOUS Die Cut challenge


This week's Die Cut Challenge at Stuck On U Sketches is "shamrock" and while I don't usually make St. Patrick's Day cards, I thought it would be fun to challenge myself to something I would normally shy away from.  The shamrock is for the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge.  I used the "hide selected contour" feature to cut out only the shamrock and not the tag.  Embossed it with polka dots and popped it up with foam squares.  The background is also embossed with a folder from one of the Cricut Companion sets.   Computer generated sentiment and a Spellbinders tag finish it off with a piece of ribbon from my stash.  Easy peaty CAS card and mission accomplished!
So if you're feeling lucky, come join our challenge!  Lots more projects to see over at the SOUS blog.  Check it out HERE
 I'm entering my card in the Bitten By The Bug 2 So Lucky Shamrock Challenge.
