Magical Monday - Green & Gold!


Hi everyone and welcome to another 'Magical Monday'. Today, it's my turn to host the challenge over at 'There's Magic in the Air with Paper Cupcakes'. Nina is offering up this fun image this week 'Pot of Gold' and as it's an Irish leprechaun, what better than a colour challenge of 'Green & Gold' (with the added bonus of using metal somewhere on your project)!

So, pop on your sunglasses before you look to closely, LOL!! Yep, it sure is a bright one! I have to say not my normal colour palette at all but hey, it's good to get out of your own 'colour box' and experiment with something that's completely not you!! I coloured the image with copics. I embossed the back yellow panel with the Moroccan embossing folder and used the MS arch lattice border punch. The rainbow crocheted flowers are ones my friend made for me when she was in the process of trying to teach me to crochet, lol!! Ribbon and metal brad are from stash.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend - the weather was fabulous and the kids had a blast out on their bikes, walking the trails and feeding the chickadees.

I sure hope you can hop on over to TMITA and join in this weeks theme. The DT girls have shared some amazing cards with everyone this week too so there's lots to be inspired by! Nina also has this fabulous prize up for grabs this week for those participating in the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by and for leaving your wonderful comments. I also have to say a HUGE thank you to those of you who've contacted me to send our dear blogging friend Linda a get well card - I appreciate it so much and I know she most certainly will! Enjoy a wonderful day everyone!

Hugs,

Danielle x

Hi Danielle,
I'm glad you have had a great weekend.
Your card is such fun! I love the multi-coloured crocheted flowers.
I was so sad to hear about Linda. She was one of my very first blogging buddies and is a very kind lady. I already have her address and a Get Well card will soon be on its way to her.
Have a great week.
