I'm grateful that I have so many e-friends (as I like to call them) and that so many of you have touched my life. I'm quite fortunate and blessed. :) Thank God and thank you.
So, in honor of an upcoming holiday which happens to be one of my favorites (Hey.... any holiday that encourages us to wear green is okay in my book!), I've created a card for you (and for some real life friends). I've recruited the help of this adorable little leprechaun dude, compliments of Dustin Pike. (He's actually one of Dustin's January Membership images... click HERE for more details).
Speaking of Dustin, be sure to check back here on Thursday to see something I created with one of his releases (Dudley Grows Up). You can look on his blog HERE on Thursday to see the whole thing! :)
Here he is, wishing you a top o' th' morning!

Here's a close-up of the sentiment with a faint image to the left...

Overall, I'm quite pleased with how the card turned out. I'm loving that woodgrain impression plate (from PTI) more and more! I inked the edges of the sentiment panel using PTI's Vintage Touch duo. Love that stuff! I inked the edges of the "wood" panel with some Chocolate Chip ink (SU!)
Thanks for looking and/or commenting!

Ted this is such a cute card. I really like how you used half of the Top Note die to prop the little guy upon. Looks like a pot of gold. I also like how the shamrock image in the corner is like a faint watermark so the sentiment can shine.
This is so cute. I love the leprechaun peeking over the edge of the die.

This is a cute card Ted. Didn't realize you loved St. Patrick's Day so much. That was very clever having the leprechaun peek over the top of the die cut.
He's cute! You did great cutting him out! Here's to green shirt day!
Fun card! I like how you cut the die cut to make it look like a scroll!
This is too cute Ted! Love that little guy looking over the edge!
Very nice design on this card, Ted! It's very "you" and very St. Paddy's Day! The woodgrain impression looks great!
Very creative use of the Top Note die - I love!
Erin Go Bragh! I am so with you on any excuse to go the green! This is one cute leprechaun for sure. I love the demi Top Note die. It is a totally perfect hidey hole for the little fella! Such a fun card, Ted. Well done!
LOVE the 1/2 top note die pocket. Clever!
Very cute n very clever.x
