Jar of Clovers Card

Tomorrow at work, my husband is going to get weighed to see how he did in the office contest to either lose or maintain weight over the holidays. I thought it would be fun to make this card for him, even though he and I both know there's no such thing as "luck." As Christians, we know the Lord is sovereign over every detail of our lives and doesn't leave anything to "chance" or "luck." What a blessing to know God cares for us so deeply that in His providence He watches over His children in even the smallest things!
The digi and sentiment for this card come from a set by From the Heart Stamps. I sized and printed them out using my Silhouette Design Studio software. I trimmed the circle to fit the sketch on their blog for this week. I colored the cork and clovers with MEXPY markers and then used Anna Griffin's glass effects on the jar. I added some twine to my tag and a few sequins to the top right for some balance and that was it. Clean and Simple is actually kind of difficult for me (I love layers and die cuts and embellishments!), but I see a lot of gorgeous CAS cards out there and marvel at how some designers just have this wonderful feel for taking just a few simple elements and turning them into something spectacular! I'm not there yet!

UPDATE: My husband won a $100 prize! He was one of only 2 people who LOST over 2 pounds over the holidays, and his name was the one drawn for the $100! What a great way to start off the new year! Thank you, Lord, for your many blessings!
