Hello friends. I am in love with the Ranger Simon Hurley Lunar Pastes! So many beautiful colors and I love the metallic sheen too! Need to get more of them! I used it a stencil created from shaped dies. So much fun to use!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 4 x 5″. I also cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Next, I created a stencil out of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ ( 6 x 6″) by die cutting the clovers with the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies. I used Simon Hurley Minty Fresh and Later Gator Lunar Paste.

I die cut the main part of the sentiment from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock and 2x from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock 100# 8-1/2 x 11″ Black Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs. I stacked them before adhering to the card. I added some clovers die cut from Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the Simon Says Stamp Cardstock Holographic Rainbows Cardstock to 1 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy add-on stamp set with Tim Holtz Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink.

I stenciled the rainbows using the Lawn Fawn Corner Rainbow Stencils and Ranger Tim Holtz Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn Green, and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks. Then added the clouds using My Favorite Things Mini Cloud Edges Mix-ables Stencil and Tim Holtz Broken China Distress Ink. I sprayed the background with water using the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer. And lastly added white splatters with White Acrylic Paint.

I die cut several clovers from Neenah 80lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the Lawn Fawn Lucky Clovers dies and colored them with Ranger Tim Holtz Mowed Lawn Green, Twisted Citron, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks. I sprayed the background with water using the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer. And lastly added white splatters with White Acrylic Paint.

I stamped the onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black with the Lawn Fawn Happy Happy Happy and Happy Happy Happy add-on stamp sets. I die cut the “happy” with the coordinating dies.

I finished the card by adding Nuvo Drops in Bright Gold.

I cut the pieces to ~3/8 x 1-1/2″. I die cut the main part of the sentiment from Tim Holtz Idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Kraft Stock using the Lawn Fawn Henry’s ABCs.
