My father-in-law loves to say that I have an Irish temper. He's right. I can get hot quick and stay mad for a long time. But when I cool off, I'll hug your neck and forget it just as fast. I suppose I get it honest, my great grandmother was a Cagle and that is an old Irish name. It's taken my husband most of our marriage to learn to sidestep my Irish temper, but he's mastered the dance pretty well. He's also really good at keeping me in check. This scene is from my all time favorite movie The Quiet Man. This is exactly something my husband would do and me too for that matter!

He's crazy, wildly inappropriate and doesn't give a @#$%. He loves to embarrass me...

BUT, I like it too. Salty and sweet, it's a good mix!
Today's post is part of the Cupcake Inspirations green and brown color challenge.
Our sponsor for this challenge is A Day for Daisies and they are generously offering a $12 gift certificate to our randomly chosen winner!
My card was inspired by a quote from my favorite movie and the Garden Chair Gathering digital image from A Day for Daisies!
I created my card layout in Photoshop Elements and printed on mixed media paper. I colored the background using Distress inks and Gansai Tambi watercolors for shading. The chairs were colored with Prismacolor colored pencils and blended with Gamsol and a paper stump.
I love it so much I think I'm going to frame it and put it somewhere I can admire it.
Be sure to check out what the rest of the Sweeties have created for the challenge and link up your green and brown creation for a chance to win!
Great post, Wendy! Loved it and your pretty card!
