Gnomie in Red

 This is my gnomie in red. Every time I think of this gnomie in red the song The Lady in Red plays through my head! Weird, I know! I found this Youtube video so you to can have this song now stuck in your head!

Anyway, my gnomie in red is not my favorite of the gnome cards that I made. I like the layout but something just feels like it's missing.

Stamps: Gnome Sweet Gnome, Gnomenclature

Ink: Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Riding Hood Red, Blushing Bride, Whisper White

Accessories: Decorative label punch, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle

punch, Twitterpated DSP, Riding Hood Red pleated ribbon

So what do you think? At least I used a set that I really didn't think would see ink in my house! (I bought Gnomenclature after my club issued the challenge of creating 4 cards with the gnomes! Pretty cheap set too.)

Happy Stampin'!

Hangin' With My Gnomies

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'!
