Love You Gnome

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This design was inspired by the challenges at Just Add Ink (just add two - flowers and gingham), the Paper Players tic tac toe challenge (left column - flowers, feminine, blue), Tic Tac Toe Challenges (left column - layers, ribbon or twine, patterned paper), and the sketch at Try Stampin on Tuesday.

I've had this stamp set since early this year and hadn't used it yet, but I have a friend with a birthday coming up who loves gnomes, so I figured it was time to ink it up! The pink patterned paper might be more of a plaid than a gingham, but it was from the Country Gingham DSP, so I think it works! The floral pattern is from the Regency Park DSP, and I added a layer of vellum over it so the gnome would stand out a bit more.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
