SO LUCKY

Happy Wednesday morning to you all,
Today I have a little Tag for you. Today at Simply Create Too, the Challenge is 'I'm So Lucky' and with St Patrick's Day coming up there is plenty of inspiration around :-)
I have used a fabulous little FREE image from Susan Paulson who is hosting a Tag challenge over at The Stamping Boutique at Crafter's Cafe. You get the image for free if you join in :-D
I have coloured him digitally and the 'paper pieced' his trousers, waistcoat and shirt. Then I printed him out 6 times and layered him up with silicone to make him really 3D. Not sure if this shows up well in the photo :-)
I have used a 6 x 3 inch tag which I distressed with green ink first. I made a little kilt effect on the side using St Patrick tartan and added some feathers and a button, I though looked a bit shamrock-like :-). I added 3 tiny cut-out shamrocks at the bottom that I covered with Stickles to make then sparkly. My sentiment tag was another freebie from Crafting With Jack over at the CDAC Progressive Freebie Digi Challenge.

I hope you will pop over and see the fabulous DT creations and play along at Simply Create Too this time, and don't forget to check in with SCT again next week for the Half Way inspirational entries.

Happy Saturday Peeps,
It is glorious and sunny here and about 25 degrees :-D      Dontcha' just love it :-)
Here is my first creation for the Progressive Free Digi Challenge over at CDAC. I have used my latest FREEBIE image (available for 1 week until she skips off to my Shop) The lovely sentiment digi is a freebie from Crafting With Jack. 

I used a bit of Irish tartan paper and some shamrock for the backing - torn and distressed with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint ink and made a little pleated tartan thingy to decorate. She is cut out and stuck with silicone for lift. My sentiment tag is coloured digitally and then cut out and inked on the edges. It is stuck with a foam pad.

I seem to be in tag mode at the moment, having just got myself a packet or two :-) This is only ever the 5th one I've done - I did 2 today LoL -  but I am getting to like them more. :-D
