Welcome to our Create with Connie and Mary Saturday blog hop!
Our theme this week features cards with trees.
Or maybe trees used in a different way?? Lol!
Yes. I jumped on the gnome craze!
The pattern papers are from the Wrapped in Plaid 6×6 Designer Series Paper.
I took a Gold Foil-Edge card and cut it in two. I layered that a Whisper White card base with the fold at the top. Then I layered on the pattern paper.
To created this little cutie I used two solid trees from the In The Woods Dies. One is cut in Whisper White, (the beard, upside down), the other in Cherry Cobbler (hat).
His body is an oval from the largest oval in the Layering Ovals Dies, with a bit trimmed off the bottom.
His nose was a hard one to come up with…….but, the Bouquet Bunch Dies had just the right shape! I think it is part of a tulip!
He came together soo well! I just love him!!
The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set, Winter Woods. You might have that bundle from last Christmas. The Timeless Label Punch was the right size for the sentiment as well!
I’d love to read your comments on this little fella! Sometimes you just have to get creative when you are given a theme!
Go forward to check out Debbie Henderson, and back to Mary Brown. I know they’ll have some great projects to inspire us!
