Fold the 5"x7" light green card stock in half to create the card.

Use the pattern to cut out all the necessary pieces from colored papers. Glue the rainbow pieces in place first. Next glue on the black pot, then the band for the pot. Finally glue on the "pieces of gold".

Variations:
Instead of card stock for the band, you can use gold glitter. Another idea is to add little dots of gold glitter to the "pieces of gold" in the pot.

Note:
Don't buy sheets and sheets of expensive papers. We used Sizzix brand paper pads, known as Little Sizzles. We used papers from both the Pastels (40-0014) pad and the Watercolors (40-0015) pad. These pads can be found in the scrapbooking aisle of your local craft store. Ours cost $4.99 (when this project was created in 2007) per pad, each pad has 4 sheets of each solid cardstock, 3 sheets of each pattern paper, there are 80 acid free sheets total per pad. Although these papers were made for the Sizzix Die Cutting Machine, we have used them for many different projects.
