Yay - it's Thursday, nearly time for the weekend and I have the day off today. I'm off up to my daughter's school to get her GCSE results - will I be smiling later? Sure I will be!
Anyway it's also Colour Create new challenge day, and the luvverly colour combo has been chosen by our luvverly Kerry!! And here's your inspiration picture:
The optional extra for this challenge is to make your own backing paper!! This is the second card this week, that I've not used any of my yummy papers!! However it did mean that I use this gorgeous snowflake design stamp from Anna Griffin for my backing design. Bought it as part of a set aaaaggggeeesss ago and you can line it up and repeat the pattern to get the size you want.
My image is one of the gorgeous gnomes from Whiff of Joy - they're just made for this colour combo! This is the first time I've tried this dotty shadowing - quite like it but think I need to a bit lighter with my PMs. Think I also need to get my eyes checked as my little gnome looks ever so slighty squiffy!! The little wooden tree was a craft fair purchase.
Our fabby sponsor for this challenge is High Hopes Rubber Stamps so hope you will play along to be in with a chance to win something gorgeous from their selection.
The lovely ladies that make up the Colour Create Design Team have made some wonderful creations to share with you so do pop on over and enjoy!
Have a great day!
