St Patricks Day Shamrock with 3D look Card

Created this St. Patrick's Day Shamrock Card
with 3D look. The inspiration came from
Cricut Chirp Crafty Kimber.

Used the Spring Holidays Cards Cricut cartridge.
Hid the smiley faces using the Gypsy. I found the
Spring Holidays Cards images odd in the way they
are sized. In order to get a 3 3/4" sized Shamrock
I had to make the Shamrock 10" using the Gypsy.
In order to get the Hearts to be 1" I had to make the
Hearts 4 1/2" using the Gypsy. Does anyone know
why this is?

Faux stitched the Base of card. Tried an idea
to cut a piece of white cardstock and use it as guide
to do the faux stitching to begin with but when I lifted
the guide piece of white cardstock off the base it left
white cardstock residue on the Base from the ink
sticking to it. Then proceeded to do it freehand. What
tips if any that do faux stitiching does anyone have to
tell me?

Cut 12 Hearts. Attached 4 Hearts together to make
3D parts and placed on each of the 3 parts of the
Shamrock.

Stamped a sentiment. Cut the sentiment tag to have
pointed inward edges.

Added gems for bling. Made a bow & added to the
Shamrock
