Leprechaun

Good Morning all!!!  I can't believe that next week is already St. Patrick's Day.  So in celebration of the upcoming holiday, I wanted to share with you another St. Patrick's Day card.  I'm sure you all have seen something similar to this one.  It seems to be a very popular cut.  Therefore, for all of us that made this similar design.  A big shout out to all of you.  So without further ado, here is my card.

For this card I used my gypsy to design a shamrock shape card from Paper Dolls Dress Up.  I welded two shamrocks together at 4.5".  The fold for this card is underneath the leprechaun.  I originally outlined the shamrock with black lines, but it just didn't help contrast it.  So I chose to white pen over the black.  I am quite pleased on how it turned out.

For this leprechaun, I used Simply Charmed and cut him out at 3".  After putting him all together I used stickles yellow and orange to give dimension to his buckle, button and eyebrows.  I sponged his cheeks with white ink and used clear glitter pen for his eyes.

After attaching the leprechaun to the shamrock, I finished my card by stamping the standard saying "Happy St. Pattick's Day" on the front of the card. 

Before I sign off, I wanted to let you all know that I have decided to enter this card into the following challenge:  Little Scrap Pieces

Once again thanks for stopping by.  Have a wonderful and safe weekend.
