Luck, Laughter, and Leprechauns: A St. Patrick’s Day Card Adventure

Dia Daoibh!

Ah, it's Springtime! The sun's trying its best to break through the clouds like it’s in a game of peekaboo, and we’re all dressed in green, looking like a bunch of overly enthusiastic leprechaun impersonators. As the big day approaches, I've got a little gift for ye, straight from the heart of the Emerald Isle — and no, it’s not a pot of gold (trust me, I checked, and the leprechauns are still holding onto those).

So, about that wee gift I mentioned: it's Molly, a free digi stamp all the way from Ireland! To download, just click on the digi, and a new window will open. Right-click and select 'save as.' Easy as pie. Or should I say, easy as a pint of Guinness on St. Paddy's Day?

Now, onto my card: featuring herself, Molly, happy out and ready for the parade. I've coloured her with Promarkers and added some enamel dots and glitter for that extra sparkle. I also used Ranger's glossy accents, tinted with Promarkers, to give it a glossy finish. Just a note: in the picture, the gloss appears much darker, but trust me, it’s as bright as a leprechaun's smile.

.... and a wee tip for colouring the flag: Green, white, and orange, folks! Not to be mixed up with the Ivory Coast flag. Unless, of course, you fancy celebrating St. Patrick's Day with elephants and a side of cocoa beans!

To wrap up, here’s an Irish joke to keep the craic going: 


How can you tell if an Irishman is having a good time? 
He's Dublin over with laughter!

Sláinte!
