The ladies in my club found out that many demonstrators for Stampin' Up! received the gnome set for free free and they wanted me to make 4 cards using this set. (We got this set by rising above the challenge that home office set before us! Yeah!) I have to admit, that I would NOT have purchased this set on my own but free is free! Because it's not a set that speaks to me, I was a little nervous about this challenge from my club! So I started this challenge with a sketch (I'm not sure which sketch this is as I don't have my sketch book with me!) and started to layout all the pieces.
This was the first card.
Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Gnomenclature
Ink: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzaazz, Island Indigo, Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze
Cardstock: Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White
Accessories: Aquapainter, Modern label punch, Word Window punch, Riding Hood Red pleated ribbon, Twitterpated DSP, dimensionals
I wasn't sure how much I liked the first one, so I created another and added a layer of Indigo Island under the ribbon and moved the phrase to the top of the card.
Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Gnomenclature
Ink: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzaazz, Island Indigo, Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride, Baja Breeze
Cardstock: Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White
Accessories: Aquapainter, Modern label punch, Word Window punch, Riding Hood Red pleated ribbon, Twitterpated DSP, dimensionals
So what do you think? I will be sharing the other 3 cards this week, I hope!
Happy Stampin'!

Cute! I haven't used this set much, either. I like the second version better. Can't wait to see what else you did with it!
I haven't used this set at all yet. But I do like what you did with it. Especially the second one.
Great job ... I have yet to use this stamp set :X
You're pretty brave. I'm not sure I would have figured it out as I'm not much of a gnome fan, but you certainly found a way! Glad you went back to it and made the change to add the Island Indigo. It makes all the difference!
The second one is better. hard set, even though it's cute!t
