You May Gnome as a Leprechaun
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: gregzgurl

 So, after realizing that I missed some of the info on the Free for All challenge (used a technique, forgot to make it a St Patrick's Day theme), I decided to try again. I made a matchbook candy holder this time.

This project has a lot of "making do" on it. I don't have any leprechaun stamps, but I do have gnomes, so I stamped this fun guy from Recollections without his tall cap and drew in a hat for him instead. I don't have any cardstock the right shade of green, so I colored the edge of white cardstock with the same markers I used on my leprechaun. I don't have any St Patrick's Day dp, so I overstamped shamrocks on some check-y paper. This little project was a lot of fun!

You did more than "make do"! You made a darling AND creative St. Pat's card. Your leprechaun is darling and the bg shamrock paper is great. Your coloring is fantastic and the texture you achieved in his red beard is amazing.
