 Happy St. Patrick's Day! If you are lucky enough to be Irish, you are lucky enough. Wishing you happiness and good luck on this special day.

This is the last in a series of three cards that I made for St. Patrick's Day. Each card featured a digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil.

This card measures 5" by 6.5". The background paper is from the Tim Holtz Wallflower scrapbook paper pad. 

This cute little Leprechaun girl is the digital stamp Good Luck. The sentiment came with the digital stamp Paddy. I colored the image with Copic Sketch markers. I used a Sizzix die to cut out the image and sponged around the edges with some distress ink. I attached the sentiment to the top of the card and punched two butterflies with a Martha Stewart punch.

I will enter this card in the following challenge;
