Card Chaos: When Crafting Shenanigans Strike Again

Dia Dhaoibh!

So, onto my next card this week. Let me tell ya, as per my previous blog post, nothing is going right this week. Talk about shenanigans! I'm convinced the leprechauns are having a laugh, and hopefully, there's no sighting of a banshee. Just remember, if she throws a comb at ya, throw it back! 😉

This wee card features a wee gnome from the My Favorite Things JB Wings & Wishes stamp set, colored with Promarkers and embellished with gems. The background is a stencil I had cut with the Silhouette. I also used foam pads for some 3D effect, because why not add a little dimension to the mischief? Now, coloring was a bit of a challenge this week—let's just say my autistic tendency for perfection (yep, late-diagnosed AuDHD) got the better of me. It ended up getting darker and darker, but hey, it didn't turn out too bad in the end!

Onto a few challenges:

Before you go, here's a little Irish joke to keep the smiles coming:

What do you call a fake Irish stone? 

A sham-rock!

Sláinte!

I just shared your joke with my hubby!!! He called it a Rebecca joke. That means it's a clean joke and not one he'd share in the men's locker room!!! The gnome looks like the loose flower is lifting him away! It certainly adds more whimsy to your birthday card! Thanks x several of your link-ups: HQCOLCB, HQFantasy, and HAOOCAYR's birthday theme!!! Terrific bundling!

Haha, I'm glad the gnome's got a flair for the dramatic! Maybe he’s off to a flower-powered adventure—who knew daisies had such lift? I’ll be sure to keep the jokes clean and the gnomes whimsical. Thanks for the shoutout on those link-ups! If you ever need more flower power or gnome escapades, you know where to find me. 🌸🧙‍♂️
