Leapin' Leprechaun

Mornin' y'all, how's your Monday?  The hubs and I both feel like we're coming down with something again, all I really want to do is take a nap but I think Daphne is going to insist I take her for a walk first.  But she has to wait so I can share a card today, and here it is:

I used a new-to-me technique here and I can't wait to play with it some more!  A while back I saw this post on Mary Fish's blog about using painter's tape to apply ink to cardstock and I finally got to try it.  I've already bought some narrower tape to play around with more, hopefully sometime this week : )

Let's talk challenges, starting with Retro Rubber:

Allllll of my stamps today are retro, very VERY retro.  I've had both Pinch Me and Pinch Proof since 2008, so 18 years, and All-Year Cheer since 2006, which is I think the year I started stamping other than the occasional thing for scrapbook pages.  No, wait, I think I started stamping in 2005, but that's over twenty years!  I'm old now ; )

Next up is the latest Freshly Made Sketch:

It was the irregular shape behind the leaves that made me *finally* try the painter's tape technique.  I did three tries and experimented with doing more than one piece, but since all I had at the moment was the wide tape I decided that one strip worked better.  Then I fussy-cut my leprechaun, popped him up, and added some itty-bitty clovers and the greeting.  Simples!

Last up is the Festive Friday Challenge:

I have lots of green, a leprechaun, and the aforementioned teeny-tiny clovers.  And of course this also fits with my challenge at The Paper Players:

That's it for now, I'm either going to take Daphne for a walk or else we're going to take a nap.  Cheers!
