Time for some adorable little Gnomes at the beach! I just got this set from Stampendous and have to use it for Tristan's masculine challenge.
For this card I decided to use a top fold since I had plans for the inside, as you'll see. My base is a Heavy Whisper White followed by a matte of Pool Party. For the images, I used a piece of Mixed Media paper and stamped my scene. I love the fact that this set has lots of background images as well as images of the gnomes. It really helped a lot since I didn't have to go hunting through various stamp sets just to set a scene. For a change I watercoloured my images and background using a variety of Stampin' Up! stamp pads as well as my Stampin' Markers.
I love the way I was able to have a veritable waterfall of images by using this top fold, don't you? The background paper is stunning and I'm so glad I got it from the Craft Consortium. The grunge colours really compliment the colours in each scene, don't they? I've even added one extra frame with the sentiment stamped right on it and waiting for personal greetings to the birthday boy/man. I love that there is such a variety of images with which I could play. This set will definitely be used many more times, it's such fun.
I've also entered my card at the following challenges:
Lemon Shortbread Challenge #151 - Anything Goes
Unicorn Challenge #67 - Summer Time
