Lucky, Lucky, Lucky

Hello

I hope you've had a good week. 
We've got the builders in!  After a break of a couple of years since the last work we had done, I'd forgotten just how invasive it is, even though they are working outside the house this time.  I'll get used to it - I have to, they're going to be around for a couple of months!  

This week's host at The Daring Cardmakers is Joanne and she's come up with a twist on Friday 13th for our challenge this week

Lucky For Some
Friday 13th might be unlucky for some but it’s St Patrick’s day on Tuesday so we might be able to balance it out with the luck of the Irish! Make a card featuring something lucky. 

Different cultures around the world have different symbols - you might choose a four leaf clover or a horseshoe. Or perhaps a peony, a dream catcher or the number seven. If you’re stuck for ideas, there’s a fun list here, plenty to choose from!

I was doubly lucky with my card as I hadn't realised that peonies were a good fortune symbol until I read Joanne's suggestions.  As they are a favourite flower of mine both in the garden and to make from paper, I was very happy to make one for my SiL's birthday card, I also used some lovely peony paper to make the 'eclipse' background.

  Info

White base card 
Digital papers printed onto white Bazzill 
Name cut from the flowery paper with my favourite Alphabet Spellbinders

 die set (the one I lost the 'A' from - but there's no 'A' in STEPH!!)

The letter stacks were cut in pink card to create the eclipse effect

The striped upper layer is raised on foam tape

The peony flower was created using pink card and a Flower die set also Spellbinders

Aqua satin ribbon for the bow

A tiny sentiment tag and a few pink pearls to complete

That's all for today, I hope you like it. Thank You so much for visiting,
