The team at The Paper Players is back today with a brand new challenge. Laurie has given us the challenge of doing a CAS card with gnomes or fairies.
Having boys there aren't many fairies in my life stamping or otherwise though I wouldn't complain if a cleaning fairy showed up occasionally! Also definitely no current gnome stamps in my supplies but I did remember I had a Stampin' Up! gnome stamp from way back when circa 2012(??) and I was hoping it didn't sell in my last BOGO sale. I found the stamp set and then got to work!
Colors are straight up classic Christmas and I used a bit of the Heartwarming Hugs DSP to paper piece the shirt and apron for some subtle pattern. A little coloring and fussy cutting and some dimensionals have this sweet duo enjoying some decorating.
The Mossy Meadow tree is stamped over some light Pear Pizzazz ink blending and decorated with some Red Velvet paper ornaments. I pulled in a little gold with the Brushed Gold star.
I can't wait to see how you take on this challenge! Be sure to share your project in the gallery and also check out the rest of the Design Team ideas:
