Poshta Presents - Shamrock Shadowbox

I started by making four shamrocks using the Lucky Shamrocks using Arugula felt (DMC 3346) and Grove felt (DMC 471), with the Lucky Shamrocks: Celtic Knot Details cut from Tundra felt and bits of Marigold felt.  The flowers on the Grove shamrocks were cut from the Spring Flowers die set.  I also cut tiny shamrocks from Arugula, Grove, and Peridot.  I stuffed the shamrocks with acrylic quilt batting. I used four layers for my desired thickness because I find it gets flattened in the diecut machine. I embellished my shamrocks with green sequins from the Heirloom Color Story and gold sequins and beads from my craft stash.

While I think the shamrocks by themselves make a great bowl filler, I decided I wanted to make a home decor project. I used an 8x10 shadow box frame from Michaels. First, I removed the glass. The background is scrapbook paper also from my stash. I used double sided foam dots to attach everything to the background. The jeweled shamrock was originally a pin that I removed the pin back from. 

I used my Cricut to make the little Celtic banner using Print and Cut, which I then aged a bit with ink. The saying loosely translates to, "May the road rise up to greet you," or "May the road succeed with you."
