The Paper Players #568 -- Gnomes or Fairies

I'm entering this card under the wire (again!) with inspiration from Amy and

her cute gnome couple card. I also discovered a new challenge blog--The Paper Players.

 

I remember having a small stash of gnomes from several years ago when gnomes

made their crafty comeback. I put my card together with supplies from FIVE different 

companies! See how well they play together?

A card base was  covered with plaid paper from Photoplay, then topped with a

panel that was debossed with MFT's Snow Swirls Cover Up Die-namics. Two of

Whimsy Stamps Snowy Trees were inked and adhered to the panel and the gnome

was popped up between them. I didn't plan well and stamped the Mama Elephant

sentiment over and thankfully, it's somewhat legible.

Thanks so much for visiting and wishing all those who celebrate a 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Edited to add: I missed the deadline. I didn't take into account the time difference

and DLS, too. Insert sad face here...Lesson learned--don't enter challenges so late!

 

Altenew November 2021 Inspiration Challenge

I found some time to play along with Altenew's November 2021 Inspiration Challenge. 

The photo caught my eye and I thought it was time to break out Altenew's Tropical Leaf Mix

Die Set.  

 

 

 

After die cutting some leaves from watercolor paper, I used Kuretake Zig markers and

a water brush to color them in pink, yellow, and purple hues. 

I adhered them to a stitched slimline card base and spattered gold ink over them. The

panel was then adhered to a slimline card base. The sentiment was white embossed on 

dark gray card stock, then adhered over the leaves.

 

 I've missed so many challenge deadlines--I'm off to link up this card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
