Lucky Shamrock

How cute is this guy's face?!  I just love it!
This card is 5"x5" and the card base is a dark green cardstock.  I cut a black mat at 4 3/4"x4 3/4" and then some green paper, with a linen-like print to it, at 4 5/8"x4 5/8."  I cut another black mat at 4 1/8"x4 1/8" and some green argyle paper at 4"x4."  I used a stamp from Peachy Keen Stamps for the sentiment and stamped it in black ink in the upper left corner.  I also added three black pearls to the remaining corners.
 
I used Paper Doll Dress Up for the shamrock.  The black one is cut at 4" and the green polka dotted one is cut at 3 1/2."  I layered them together and adhered them to the card with foam tape.  I used another Peachy Keen stamp for his face.  I colored in the mouth and tongue with markers and used a white gel pen on his eyes and tooth.  I also covered the eyes, tooth, and tongue with glossy accents.  I finished off my little guy with a black baker's twine bow.
 
I made this card for the following challenges:
