The magic of Spring is right around the corner and, for those of us who are Irish (and a few who are Irish one day a year!), the month of March also makes us think of leprechauns, with a magic all their own. This fun image is from Fabrika Fantasy and, with my Irish heritage, I just had to use this fantastic leprechaun on a card.
This is going to be a really fast post and I'll pre-schedule it to go live while I'm sleeping. Colored with ProMarkers, cut with a Memory Box stitched, scalloped-circle die, and mounted onto a ribbon background.
The dark green ribbon is covered in glitter and sparkles beautifully I used most of that ribbon for Christmas projects. Both of the ribbons were just scrap pieces left in my ribbon box from other projects. The striped ribbon was from a sewing project I did over a year ago.
I added no embellishments at all so that it would remain very CAS and easy to mail.

OK, I'm heading to bed. It's raining again and I can hear the wind blowing outside but it's snug and cozy under the covers so the fur babies and I are off to get warm. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Oh Connie, this is adorable! What a cute leprechaun and I love your use of snippets as well.
My granny was Irish. so my Mum was half Irish - which makes me one quarter Irish :) That might explain why I like shamrock sandwiches :) Joke!

Ok, that background is ALL ribbon! I get it! I saw this over at Outlawz and had to come over to see how you did that amazing background! So fun! We've had lots of rain and wind here, also. Raining today and again tomorrow. I guess I can't complain the winter here was very mild. Hope it clears up where you are!

Saw your cute little guy at the Snippets Playground. Love this cute image, and St Pat's images are not easy to find. He's colored beautifully, and I really like the way you've done the background, with the wider strips trimmed with the narrow ones. Great texture! Perfect theme colors too! TFS & Hugs
Love the ribbon background you created! Such a great way to use up ribbon scraps. The stitched dies are a great detail.
