CEX111 Fancy Shamrock Appliqués

Stamps by:  Heart by All Nite Media;  Stem by Posh Impressions.

Supplies needed:  None

***We sent enough for three shamrock appliqués.  After actually putting this together, it is so large that only one would be needed on a shirt--three would be overwhelming.  So, enjoy the extra appliqués on the back of a denim jacket or on a canvas bag!

Instructions:

1.  Detail trim as you normally do.
2.  Position the hearts into a "shamrock-shape" (isn't that cool?) on your garment.  You will probably want to lay them out first and then one at a time,
remove the Peel'n'Stick and position appropriately.
3.  Add the stem.
4.  Now, you have no excuse not to have something very Irish on the 17th!!!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
