CI Paint~ Inspired By: Go Green!

Good Morning everyone and Happy Sunday!!!!
(if you are looking for the Trendy Twine Bunny Hop please click HERE)

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!

I hope I have inspired you with my project and you will play along with us over at
Remember you do not need CI Paints on your project but if you have them we would
LOVE to see how you use them!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a GREAT day!!!
