We have a new challenge starting today over at Ike's World. Our theme is our usual "Anything Goes" but our optional twist is "Over the Rainbow" under which we would include Wizard of Oz, music, rainbows, gold, luck.
Many of you already know that St. Patrick's Day is my birthday and that my family tree is Irish on both sides so, for me, nothing is luckier than a leprechaun and his pot of gold. You may also know that each year I make St, Paddy's cards for all my grandkids to remind them of their Irish heritage. However, this year I've made a card just for myself and this St.Pat's Hunk is my present to me. A gal couldn't get any luckier than finding a leprechaun like him! :-D
I used my Shin Han markers to color the image, then fussy cut the hat and added it to the image using dimensional dots. I framed the image with a Sue Wilson die cut. The green ribbon was in my stash and the pot of gold was cut with a die from QuicKutz. I added one of my hand-sewn bows which I 'dyed' gold using a Shin Han marker.
Challenges:
Crafting from the Heart
Delicious Doodles
Glitter n Sparkle
MarkerPOP
Outlawz Greetings
Outlawz Festive Friday
Pammie's Inky Pinkies
Paper Girls
Unicorn
Work It Weds
Come play in our challenge this fortnight, won't you? It's "Anything Goes" but if you want to do something using the optional twist, the interpretation is really pretty broad. For more inspiration, go check out all the DT creations over on Ike's World main blog. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Ah! so know we know what your dream "Good Luck Leprechaun"looks like. Very handsome. Love that die and your port of gold. Real nice job on his hat and your dyed bow. wishing you a good day. Happy Birthday Friday. I thought I'd better send birthday wishes now in the event we lose power for a few days with this blizzard we are having starting today. Enjoy your week ahead and don't celebrate too hard. LOL
Ooooooawww thanks for entering this hunk at Unicorn Ch .;..Lis
Ok, I'll take one too! I don't even care if he's short or tall either. Just make him a rich one! He can bring that pot of gold right along with him.
LOVE your card Connie and I don't blame you for keeping this at all. I would too! Love the frame work around him and the pot of gold is the extra touch. Fabulous
