I've used some very old, retired Designer Paper along with this adorable Gnome. I think the patterns work together beautifully, don't you? And I took inspiration for the colours in the card from the patterned paper. For my base I used the heavy Whisper White and then added a layer of Early Espresso. After adding a different pattern to each side, I cut out a stitched oval from Whisper White and embossed that using a Falling Snow embossing folder. Then I added a stitched rectangle of Cherry Cobbler and embossed that using the Subtle embossing folder.
I attached the Gnome using Dimensionals after colouring him (and his sweet friend) with my alcohol ink Blends.
I love the way the card turned out and hope you do, too. Have fun checking out our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and I hope you'll link your creation before the deadline on Monday, August 17th.
I've also linked my card to the following challenges:
Lemon Shortbread Challenge #126 - Anything Goes
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge #76 - Anything Christmas Goes
Love the colours Heidi - they all work very well together. That the gnome is holding gingerbread man brings everything together nicely. Great to see you here in our challenge - thank you for joining us at The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge xxxx Lynda DT
