A Celtic Blessing

Good morning and welcome to duel day! The Dueling Darlings are at it again, and hostesses April for the Dazzlers and Kadie for the Divas came up with a great St Patrick's Day theme for us.

Here is our message from April:

Hello Duelers!

What a great theme Kadie and I have for you this month!

Being that we post on the 15th, we decided to go with the obvious, St. Patrick's Day! Rather than wishing everyone luck, we would like you to somehow use the enclosed Celtic Blessing. We are indeed blessed to be part of this group!!

The kits are filled with things we hope you will enjoy using to bless another! Please, let us know of a recent RAK you have initiated or been the recipient of!

Happy creating!

I had every intention of taking a picture of the kit before I made my card, but of course I didn't. There was so much included, that I had a hard time using everything, but I tried. The kit from April included:

• 3 gold brads 
• Picture clips in white, black and brown 
• Kaiser paper flowers 
• Assorted ribbon 
• Paper: Heidi Grace Shimmer Foil Clover 
• Karen Foster Shamrocks 
• Lucky Limeade cardstock - SU! 
• Computer generated Celtic Blessing 
• Image: MFT ala mode 'Wishing You Luck"

I managed to use the Shamrocks DP, Lucky Limeade cardstock, all of the paper flowers, a gold brad, 2 of the ribbons and the Celtic Blessing. Pretty good for me ☺ The only thing I added was the card base of Basic Black SU! cardstock. The image is colored in Copics.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

I really like how this card turned out, and I hope you like it too!

 

The final part of this challenge is to mention a RAK (random act of kindness) that I have either initiated, or been the recipient of. Well, I went shopping with my mom and younger sister on Friday. We went to Kohl's and spent quite a bit of money, us giving mom money and she paid since she had a 30% off coupon. It's also Kohl's cash time and mom got $30 worth due to all of our purchases. I figured she would keep it since it was her 30% off discount, but she gave it to me. That was very unexpected, and very nice of her to do. I am going to use that cash to get Steve a new pair of tennis shoes....even though I could easily spend it on myself. So, I guess I am paying it forward too.

 

Thank you for stopping by! Please stop by all of the Darlings to view their creations, links are in my right sidebar!
