Luck of the Irish Tutorial

Okay, I REALLY love St. Patrick's Day which doesn't make a ton of sense, I'm not Irish and I don't drink, my only claim is that I love green! So with that said here is another super quick, cheap and cute tutorial.
Start with a canvas, I used an 8x10, I bought a two pack from Hobby Lobby for $3.99 but they were 30% off this week! Measure the tallest letter from the stamp set you want to use- mine was 2.5". Then start with the line that "irish" we be on, and decide where you want that to be on your canvas and then space all your lines from there. Trace lines very faintly with a pencil (we'll erase it later).

Stamp "irish" first. I used green ink, but you can use any color. I used clear foam stamps- these are my favorite stamps- they are pretty much fool proof.

Finished "irish".

Next, fill all your lines with random letters. (You could also just stamp kiss me i'm..over and over). Make sure you have a pretty good mix of tall and short. Also have some stamps overlap the edge.
Tip- Since there is nothing hard in the middle of your canvas, I slid a closed stamp pad under my canvas so it was easy to stamp- worked like a charm.

Then, erase your pencil lines.

Enjoy! You could also add a green ribbon on the back to hang it on the wall.

Look for more St. Patrick's Day Projects coming up- like the little frame in the back.
