January Creative Crew Challenges- Scallop Gnomies

Stamps: gnome sweet gnome, gnomenclature
Paper: everyday enchantment DSP, crumb cake CS, whisper white CS
Ink: basic black,riding hood red, basic grey, daffodil delight, soft suede, pear pizzazz
Accessories: ridinghood red pleated satin ribbon, jumbo eyelet (retired), linen thread, large scallop circle die, clear circle die, crop-a-dile, blender pen snips, my awesome sewing machine

I think the Gnomies from Gnome Sweet Gnome are a polarizing stamp set in the demo world, much like the Sock Monkey. You either love them, or hate them. I, myself, am a lover of the gnomes. And by "lover", I mean "fan", not "chicka-chick-bow-WOW". 

For this challenge, we were asked to use our newest stamp set on a non traditional card. After I finished my card and photographing it, I realized that I didn't put a shadow under his and the frog's feet to make them look grounded. Now they're kinda floating there...looking gravitation-ally challenged. Ah well...I ain't shooting it again, yo.

You are cordially invited to participate in the Creative Crew Challenges:

Catalog Focus: My newest stamp set. Use only stamps from a new stamp set on a non-traditional card. Keywords: CCREW112CF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM

Holiday Focus: Valentines Day. Make a card or a decor item using hearts in a new way to you—something you’ve never done with hearts. Keywords: CCREW112HF, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM

SB inspiration focus: a past holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Christmas) SB page or decor item. Use your newest dies, texturz plates or embossing folders to create this beauty. Use one or use many big shot items. Keywords: CCREW112SB, CreativeCrew, SUO or SUM

SUO just means Stampin' Up! Only and SUM means Stampin' Up! Mostly. Have a great day! Ske-doosh.
