Love Lives Here -Shamrock Card

Hello again, here is my second card for today it features two lovely stamps 

from Quietfire Design.

 Flourishing Inside -Hearts and Love Lives Here

I'm entering this card in to three challenges, colorQ challenge #231,

 Die Cut Divas lets emboss it March challenge and the brand new Virginia's View Challenge #1

 I like how the black and green pop against the white base.

Detail of my DIY Embossing. 

To do this I used the Oval Scallop Frame Bigz Die and 

Big Shot to cut a mask out of Chipboard. 

Next I attached  the mask with repositionable tape to the inside front of my card stock base. 

Placing my embossing mat on top of the card stock and running through my Big Shot 

as I would any other Embossing folder.
(Warning, when experimenting go slow and never force anything or you will damage your Big Shot.)

I just love finding new uses for my craft supplies and tools.
