Shamus

Today is the day for the Inspiration Challenge at Dude Time Doodles and here is your color/inspiration board.

Shamus Shamrock was begging me to choose him for this challenge.  He wanted everyone to know that leprechauns do wear colors other than green!  He's all decked out, ready to go partying (that is his favorite hobby after-all).  He even found a gold shamrock to bring with him.

Instead of making a card, I created a little notebook so Shamus could be the life of the party, no matter where he went.  The closure for the notebook was created using paper floss and buttons on the front and backside.  (It wasn't really necessary to add this, but I thought it looked good.)  Shamus is colored with Copic markers and fussy cut out.  The papers are from Scenic Route that I've had for a long time.  I used a portion of the Stripes Label embossing folder from Quikutz for the small panel behind Shamus and the notebook border punch (how appropriate) from EK Success for the bottom.  I added some Creative Inspirations Paints (gold) for the shamrock and the buckles for some added bling.

Don't hesitate too long - the party might be over before you get your project uploaded over at DTD (you have until next Tuesday, July 26).  Use the inspiration board above and remember, the project has to be for a Dude!  Go see what the other Dudettes have come up for you too.
