Loving HQCB Theme #24 Reminder St. Patrick's Day ATC

 Hello! Heartfelt Greetings! On this personal paper-crafting blog I'm focusing on a cute little faux leprechaun (aka hedgehog) ATC for my Heart's Quest Theme #24 reminder project! 

**Details: Heart's Quest Challenge Blog's Theme #24 requires 2 parts: (1) heart/love element using at least 1 heart shape, the word 'heart' or a variation like 'heartwarming', or the word 'love' or a variation like 'beloved' AND (2) at least 1 element for St. Patrick's Day occasion.

Easy. Right?!!?!

DT members Diane and Willa Jean made some darling sweet St. Patrick's Day card for the launch post on February 14th. I've got this cute little ATC for reminder inspiration:

[Theme #24 requirements: heart-shaped clover leaves, 'love' handwritten, AND clover/shamrock, green and orange/peachy colors of Ireland's flag]

Artist Trading Cards are sized at 2.5" x 3.5" so I tried to pack a punch full of adorableness into the itty bitty real estate!!! 

The felt shamrock was actually 4-leaf. I was able to cut 1 leaf away and with the hedgehog on top, the 4th leaf is not missed. The shamrock was part of a garland string of them. I just had to pull and separate where they had glued the shamrock leaf outline cut edges and then re-glue before adhering to the ATC. [Dollar Tree; also hedgehog was part of 4 different animal felt shapes package]

The green and white checked gingham cardstock is from Simple Stories. The peach (bright neon deep orange) cardstock is by Neenah. Black marker was used to outline the gingham paper and then a detail tip black pen was used to write 'love' in the upper right corner. 

Simple yet full of whimsy and charm!
