Gnome Sweet Gnome

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the marvelous Etsy Store Wild Things Dresses.  I chose this adorable little Gnome Print Dress to inspire my design.

I loved the color palette and sweet little polka dots ... and it gave me an excuse to ink-up my new Gnome Sweet Gnome set from Lawn Fawn.  I started with a piece of Hello Luscious paper from Basic Grey (I love stamping on their distressed solid designs).

I stamped grass repeatedly along the bottom in Sour Apple Chalk ink creating a little hill on which to perch my mushroom home.  The musroom was stamped on red textured cardstock with white pencil used for the mushroom dots like the big polka dots in the inspiration dress.

My litlte Gnomie was stamped in India ink on white cardstock with a paper pieced hat and colored pencils on the rest.  I finished with  lots of tiny little paper pieced flowers & some MFT die cut clouds in the sky (using foam tape on my gnome, mushroom and cloud for dimension).

This card is also for the SKY Challenge at CASology ... love a cloudy sky.

And Dawn let me know about the Pun Fun Challenge at Red Carpet Studio ... I'm all about the puns.

I hope you find inspiration.
