I didn't need to do an extra post today, but was inspired by a
color challenge I saw while blogging. I had to rise to the challenge because I love
Cherry Cobbler and
Daffodil Delight together and the challenge included these 2 yummy colors AND
Lucky Limeade working together in vivid, perfect harmony. I earned the
Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set with some free Hostess Dollars and wanted to play around with it. My design was inspired by a quirky little
sketch challenge that I thought lends itself to some whimsical fun. Here's my little yard ornament:
I used some
Lucky Limeade DSP scraps for the 2 strips in the background. The diagonal strip is textured
Lucky Limeade CS. I wanted to add the flowers to the strip for some extra fun and texture. The
Daffodil Delight flowers are from the
Fruit and Flowers stamp set.
I stamped an extra hat for my little fellow and attached it with glue dots, for added dimension. I did the same for the 2 mushrooms. My little guy is holding a punched glimmer paper flower ('painted' with Lucky Limeade reinker). I added a clear button over the sparkling flower and then added touches of clear Dazzling Details sparkle to the flowers, my gnome's belt buckle, the frog's eyes, and the polka dots on the mushrooms. The card front is framed with the
Framed Tulips embossing folder. I finished off the project with a little knotted bow of
Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon.
So, once again...
