It is time for another fun Inspired By Challenge
over at
This weeks Challenge~
Inspired By: Go Green!
We want to see all those St. Patty's Day projects OR recycled projects!!
and here is the project I made....
I wanted to make my boys a fun St. Patty's day treat...I know they are super excited about it~ I hope you like it too :)

For my project I started out with a clay pot that I painted black using acrylic paint. Once that was dried I went over the black with CI Paint in Onyx. I wanted that black to really shimmer :)
Here is a close-up of my sentiment~
Using the sentiment from My Creative Time, my favorite embossing powder~ Deliquesce Black from CI Paint, I stamped and heat embossed it onto a die cut~ the Curly Label Die also from My Creative Time
I wanted to add some gold brads but didn't have any, so instead of going out and buying some I used silver brads from my stash and heat embossed them using Deliquesce Gold Glitter. They turned out AWESOME I might add :)
To hold my sentiment up I used a sucker stick~ kinda boring until I wrapped it using Twisted Lime Trendy Twine!! Did you know it is the color of the month??? Trendy Twine is having a sale on it HERE
~~Just a little enabling on my part...LOL!!~~
Finally here is a close-up of the shamrock die cut~also from My Creative Time!
I love Emma's dies and the stitching she adds to them~ Awesome!!
I couldn't leave him unpainted so I added a layer of Green Olive CI paint as well as another gold brad.
Filled with some "gold" in the form of Rolo's and there you have it!
