Good luck St Patrick's day friendship card

Here is a cute friendship card for St. Patrick's day. If you don't want the Lucky to be friends sentiment, the stamp set also had Good Luck and You're Gold sentiments you could use. I added some gold dots with the embossed gold above the pot and didn't realize until after I added them that they are retired, you can add any gold sequins or embellishment you have in your stash. 
 

The shamrock on the inside is stamped off to get a lighter hue

Swirled Designs, Pop up Petals, Prayers and Promises sympathy card

I love this simple, fast card. It features the stamp and die set Swirled Designs. I added the flower from the Pop up Petals stamp set stamped in Momento Black and colored in with Stampin' Blends. I added Wink of Stella to the flower portion. The sentiment comes from Prayers and Promises.  The background stamps from the Swirls Designs I stamped in Balmy Blue and Smokey Slate. The sentiment in Momento Black. The die is cut with Silver Foil, glued down and the flower popped with Stampin' Dimensionals. 
 

I stamped off the background stamp with Balmy Blue ink to get a lighter design than on the front, then stamped the sentiment on top with Momento Black.

2. Emboss the watercolor paper using the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid embossing folder. Also emboss clouds with scraps of Basic White cardstock. Fussy cut around the clouds.

3. Using a water brush or paintbush color the water with Azure Afternoon ink and sky with Balmy Blue. You can push on closed ink pad to get ink on the lid or press an acrylic block into ink pad. Add a couple of drops of water before adding to cardstock. Sometimes I add a drop of Balmy Blue re-inker just because it is such a light color. Set aside to fully dry.

6. Once watercolor paper is fully dry (you can speed up the drying time with a heat gun) glue on the clouds and cut off edges overhanging. Stamp birds using Momento Black ink. Add sailboat using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
