Shamrock ombre specimen art

We loved our Valentine ombre specimen art but since St. Patrick's Day is quickly approaching, we had to change it out to reflect the green holiday:

Want to make your own shamrock ombre specimen art?

1. Snag some green paint chips in different hues from the paint section of your local home improvement store, {or Walmart where I got mine.} Cut them up by hue. 2. I originally used a heart punch for the Valentine art but the shamrocks looked too chubby so I simply drew a heart on the back of a chip, cut it out and then in half to make a pattern.  Fold each paint chip in half, trace the half heart 3x's and cut out: you now have some cute dimensional hearts.  Repeat, repeat, repeat... ;)3. Start hot glueing hearts in 3's {forming a shamrock} in rows by hue.  I snagged a few sticks off my tamarack tree to create a stem for my shamrocks and simply glued them in between the 3 hearts.   4. Frame your art in a cute funky frame and display with your current St. Patrick's Day decor:

Do you decorate for Paddy's Day?

We'll be linking to these fun parties this week!
