The minute I saw this cute little fella that
June kindly shared on her
Artfreebies blog I just had to have him. Isn't it funny how some images just scream at you to be used and you have immediately in your minds eye what you want to use them for? Well this fella had me thinking straight away of a little Irish guy doffing his cap at me if I passed him on the street... shouting at me in the broadest of accents " Top 'o' the
mornin' to ya me
Darlin' with a cheeky glint in his eye :-D and I just couldn't get the idea out of me head.
So I used some gorgeous
Basicgrey papers to cover my canvas and as a background stamped with a Crafty Individuals stamp for
Seamus (well he had to have a proper Irish name didn't he...
lol) and he proper makes me smile every time I look at him in my crafty space.
To complete my canvas I had to add me some Irish luck (who knows I might get some) with some tiny punched shamrocks and me little bit 'o'
bling.
Wishing you all the luck in the world for a gorgeous sunny weekend :D
hugs
Chris xx

Oh Chris thats just the most gorgeous card. Colours, saying and beautiful work and of course the cute irish fella.
Thanks for sending the irish luck too .. I need it, I am just baring up after some worries at home and some news of my sons impending operation, so a little luck would be more than welcome.
I am off out for a few hours now with my sis and that will be calming though lol.
