Created this card using a similar layout of a previous St. Patrick's Day card. 

For this card I used Create A Critter 2 Cricut cartridge for the Pot of Gold. 

Used Die-Namic dies for Cloud & Rainbow. Discoverd a cleaver way to use strips of cardstock for the rainbow. I first used red tape adhesive on a piece of white cardstock. Used scraps of cardstock that I had strips of. Found that if you cut a Tim Holtz tag using a piece of cardstock slightly larger than what the die cuts then you are left with some strip pieces. I peeled off the red tape removable layer, gathered some strips of cardstock, placed them on the red tape adhesive, then placed the die over the carstock strips and cut.

Used VersaMark ink with Stamp N Plus Stardust chalk on the rainbow for sparkle look.

Used tissue on this creation. Discovered a clever way to use tissue after trying to punch a shape out of tissue which I found to tear the tissue. Used a piece of white cardstock, used Scotch ATG adhesive on white cardstock crisscrossing the adhesive, placed the tissue on top of the adhesive and carefully smoothed so as to not tear the tissue out over the adhesive. Punched out green shamrocks from the tissue white cardstock.

Heat embossed the Hero Arts St. Patrick's Day sentiment on the Pot of Gold. Added glitter to the Pot of Gold.

Used Stampin' Up Cloudy Day embossing folder. 

Added sequins: 2 gold & 2 green.

Used washi tape that I placed on a white index card and cut Sizzix photo corners out of.
