In honor of four-leaf clovers, leprechauns, rainbows, pots of gold, and other lucky things associated with St Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fun to host a swap with a "Lucky" theme.  For this project, you'll make one altered tag (size #5 or comparable) using stencils in the creation of your design.  The style and color of your project is open to your own inspiration - you don't have to use traditional St Patty's Day colors or themes... just make sure you incorporate the use of stencils and that your theme is "Lucky"!

Stencils can be really fun... you can spray or paint through them, use modeling paste, etc.  Read about some ideas for using stencils here. For some visual inspiration, go here.
