     I’ve always liked celebrating St. Pat’s Day…partly because Spring follows closely behind! This card was fun to make using a fun giraffe Leprechaun from The Paper Shelter and two freebies from the web.  

    I’m entering this card into several challenges including Park Hopping-My Happy Place (I discovered this challenge last year and it has become a favorite of mine. I’ve learned lots about amusement parks mainly because the challenge host, Makira, provides a listing of “inspiration” to help learn more about Amusement Parks around the globe. That is how I learned that a wee bit ‘o St. Pats is incorporated into one special site in Disneyland. You can read more HERE!)

Supplies: 

·  Digi- The Paper Shelter digi set (Giraffes on Parade)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Lumps of gold- from Hobby Lobby clearance aisle (Diamond painting gems)

·   Inside Sentiment- Freebie Subway Art from thegirlcreative.com (Irish Blessing)
