Blessings, friends!
It's the 15th of the month, the fun time when the Dueling Darlings show the lovely card kits sent to us! This month, our hostess was our newest member of the DD, Kadie! She sent us a yummy kit full of green, March, St. Patrick's day related papers and embellies and of course, this sweet lil a la mode' "Wishing you Luck" image! Lookie!
For my card, I lost my original thought like 20 times along the way. I *knew* what I wanted to do - but somewhere between the thought and the actual creation, it turned out more like what I call a "hot mess" ;)
But I had fun with it and that's what's important, right?!

| I fit a lot on here for one wee card! :) |

| Here is the inside of my card :) |
Being of Irish descent (my dad's grandpa!), I hold fast to those Gaelic roots (even chosen a Gaelic name for my firstborn daughter) :)
I added the Irish Blessing including in the kit to the inside and just let it speak for itself - it's a beautiful ancient Celtic prayer wishing God's blessing for your journey - making your walk an easier one with no mountains to climb over or obstacles to overcome.
And did you know there is a stunningly beautiful song with this message ~
have a listen :)
I wish you for many blessings, especially during
the St. Patrick's Day festivities and beyond!
Please be sure to stop in and see the rest of the
Dueling Darling Divas and Dazzlers - you

Thank you, Kadie, for this beautiful kit of blessings and green-ness! :)
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

ReplyDeleteYour "hot mess" is absolutely stunning, Kels! Love how you incorporated so many elements of the kit both inside and out!! And what a treat your song of the same sentiment blessing! You are a blessing to me, dear friend, and have been an inspiration and encourager as a Diva, Sistah and friend!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beauty! Love the image and the fun postage stamps! Hope you have a great St. Paddy's day! PS. If you like irish music, checkout Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul. I took the hubs for his birthday a few weeks ago and they were AMAZING. She plays electric violin, and was in the original cast of Riverdance. Me, my mom's side is Irish, so we do it up big! Dad's side is Greek, so we have yummy food on that side too.
ReplyDeleteSuper creation, Kelly. I love how you combined all the different elements and included the wonderful the Irish blessing on the inside. Beautifully done!

Well, though you might call it a hot mess, I think it looks great. I know how it is to start with an idea and have the execution of it be something totally different! lol Happy St. Patrick's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card. I like the sentiment on the inside and the little bird postage stamps are cute.
