Welcome to the Thursday Challenge by Create with Connie & Mary. This week I am using the Storybook Gnomes designer series paper to meet the sketch challenge with a Christmas Gnome.
The Challenge:
I took the liberty of turning the sketch on its side and moved the banner (now a Christmas gnome) to the lower left from the upper right. I hope you like this whimsical card.
The Card:
I generally do not make whimsical cards, nor have I been crazy about gnomes. However, this year the gnomes and designer series paper (DSP) are so stinkin’ cute!
