Instructions:
(Unless otherwise indicated, SNAIL Adhesive used throughout)

1. Score Garden Green 8-1/5" x 5-1/2" card stock at 4-1/4"; fold away from scoreline to create card. Adhere Whisper White card stock to card front. Adhere 3-3/4" x 2-1/4" DSP over Whisper White about 1/8" from upper edge; adhere 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" DSP over Whisper White about 1/8" from bottom edge (these two pieces should meet or slightly overlap).

2. Stamp Happy St. Patrick's Day on 2-1/2" x 1-3/4" Whisper White card stock; adhere Sticky Sheet to card stock over stamped image. Remove backing paper and adhere used dryer sheet over Sticky Sheet. Use a paintbrush (I used the one that comes with the Powder Pals embossing trays) to daub Iridescent Ice embossing powder over the dryer sheet. Traces of the powder will adhere to the dryer sheet.

3. Adhere the Whisper White/dryer sheet card stock to 2-3/4" x 2" Garden Green card stock. Punch Blossom from Wild Wasabi card stock; cut in half; adhere one piece to back of Garden Green card stock so three petals show from the front in the upper left-hand corner. Adhere to front of card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

4. Tie a small bow from the Garden Green ribbon and use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere to upper left corner of the dryer sheet.

Hope you have a sparkling St. Pat's Day!!!
