For the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, March 2, 2015, I took "hint of clover" to mean green, in general.
"Green Grow the Lilacs", which apparently was the original title of the play that led to Rodgers and Hammerstein musical "Oklahoma!", was never actually in the musical but was a popular folk song of Irish origin, which fits the concept of green and March and St. Patrick's Day quite well. However, I chose this as my theme because the name just came to mind when I was casting about for something "green"!

I decided to try out my new Cracked Pistachio spray... However, this card needed more than Cracked Pistachio so I threw in some Peeled Paint Spray and some Pine Needles Marker to add to the green.
My approach was to stamp the lilacs (PSX K-1299) twice, once on typing paper and once of cardstock. I then cut out the typing paper version to use as a mask. I attached the mask to the card over the stamped image and sprayed with Peeled Paint and Cracked Pistachio. I blotted it dry and the heat dried it, before removing the mask.
My next step was to watercolor in the lilacs with a Shaded Lilac marker (appropriate, don't you think?) and then added some depth with Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord. I used Pine Needles, Peeled Paint and Cracked Pistachio to color the stems and leaves.
