RSG: There's GNOME friend like you!

Happy weekend, friends!

Today's card is for the Ready, Set, Go card challenge

where we take card challenges and go way beyond ~

I like to call them the extreme card challenges :)

It's a group I started in May 2017

and these challenges are really out of the box!

The challenge for January from Jeanette was to use 

3 colors:  Red, Blue and Plum and

 3 embellishments:  Ribbon, twine and enamel dots.

Yes ~ all of that ~ on one card!

 

I used the 3 colors as the base of my coloring, paper choice

and the cardstock colors as well.

I've used the adorable Oh Gnome! from Lawn Fawn

and just adore this stamp set!

Gnomes are quite en vogue right now and all over the place!

Remember a couple of years ago when pigs were the fad

and you'd see those cuties everywhere?!

I paired the gnomes with a windmill stamp/die set from Avery Elle

for a whimsical look, added gingham ribbon and twine to the land.

I know - it's blue!

The enamel dots are flowers scattered about and the doorknob.

Check and check! 

 

Here's the inside of my card

which carries over the matching sentiment from the set :)

I attached the windmill with a brad popped up it up on foam
so that it would spin.

 You can see what Barb created here and Jeanette created here.

I have to put my thinking cap back on since I'm up next month

and ideas are getting harder to come up with :/

I had so much fun creating this card!

I would not have normally put these 3 colors together

but do love a good challenge.

My goal was fun and whimsical and I just love it how it turned out ♥

Today I get to sit back a bit and blog, catch up, and play with stamps!

And my little granddaughter, Alice, is coming over today

and we're having a play date - yay!

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
