Clovers In Lace

Here’s another card using the Hero Arts Lace Background! I was staring at it for a long time and those little Four Leaf Clovers just appeared before me! I hadn’t noticed them before!!!! So, I thought it would make the prettiest St. Patrick’s Day card! You can’t tell by the picture, but I sprayed the sticky-back canvas with a mixture of water and perfect pearls! It’s oh so pretty in person This one’s going to my mama!
