Gnome Peace on Earth - Make the Card Challenge #38

 Challenge #38 of the Make the Card Challenge is a colour one - actually a single colour - Mossy Meadow green.

For this challenge I made a slim line card and  combined a number of stamp sets and dies from Ten Ghome from Frog's Whiskers to Peace & Joy from Stampin' Up.  The main colour was Mossy Meadow  with touches of Red and Yellow to provide a bit of interest.

Here is my card


Dimensions:
Card Base:  Mossy Meadow 9 by 7" scored at 3 1/2"
 First Card Layer: Mossy Meadow with white dots DSP 8 3/4 by 3 1/4"
Art Piece:  Basic White 8 1/2 by 3:

Trees from the Peaceful Cabin set were stamped along the horizon.  Evening Evergreen ink was used for this, but the extra trees that were stamped on a separate piece of Basic white were stamped with Soft Succulent ink. The lighter coloured trees were die cut and added in front of the other trees with dimensionals.


The little gnomes are named "Ted" and are designed by Rose Marie Kerr from Frog's Whisker's in Campbellford, Ontario.  Ted was stamped twice on Basic White card stock with Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampin' Blends -{Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Evening Evergreen}.  Some Liquid Applique was added to the fur on the hats with some Dazzling diamonds sprinkled on it while it was wet.  This was heat set until the applique looked like snow.

The two gnomes were added to the card front using dimensionals.

The sentiment was die cut in 3 layers, and 3 shades of green using the Peace and Joy bundle.


Supplies Used:

Stamps:  Ted Gnome, Peaceful Cabin, Peace & Joy

Inks:  Mossy Meadow Soft Succulent, Evening Evergeen, Stampin' Blends (Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Pink Petals, Smoky Slate)

Papers:  Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Retired Mossy Meadow DSP, Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam

Accessories:  Cabin Dies, Joy Dies, Liquid Applique, Dazzling Diamonds, Dimensionals
