Color Challenge at The Paper Players



Hi everyone!

The color challenge from LeAnne at The Paper Players is:

 Merry Merlot, Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze and a neutral 

Last winter I bought the set, "A Gnome Winter" from Picket Fence, and have been wanting to ink it up. Today was the day! I colored in the hat with the challenge colors and added an enamel dot in the center of the snowflake. I backed it on a Tutti Designs scalloped stitched rectangle, and stamped the sentiment from the same set on the bottom.

Then I cut out Tim Holtz thinlets Christmas plate from his new release. I found a soft grey wood grained background, and then adhered it onto a piece of the merry Merlot paper.


I had so much fun making this card...I love Christmas and I love gnomes!!

Supplies:
Paper: SU
Ink: Memento Black, copics
Stamps and Dies: Picket Fence A Gnome Winter, Tim Holtz
Other: enamel dot
