I took some time and decided to join in a few challenges for today's post.
I started with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #510.
I printed off some digital paper from my computer folder, and then cut out [this adorable] *Large Gnome Die from Simon Says and had his hat match the bg panel.
---------------------------------------------------
I went on to play in Kat's Scrappiness November Challenge; a shaker card, along with Just Add Ink #579; Foil, Glimmer, Shimmer, pick 2.
There is a story to this card. Let me tell you ;). I was playing around with my laser printer and foil. I printed a digi [Hanneli Bester's generosity], ran it though my Mink machine, and WA LA, I had a mini slimline sized sentiment - {FOIL for challenge} I figured I would also try the Edge-less Shaker Card by using some packaging from you guessed it, a slimline set of dies.
I used Katscrappiness Mini Slimline Embossed Edge Dies for the sentiment panel, and just cut down some kraft paper for the card base [3.5x6].
I added in some pretty sequins {SHIMMER for challenge}, adhered the panel to the card base, and added a feather from Spellbinders Feather Dies. It still needed something, so I wrapped some twine around the card. End of my story? What started out as just playing, turned into a fun masculine card for 2 challenges, and my use! What a win :).
------------------------------------------------------------
For the final challenge [gosh, I hope you are still with me!], I joined in at AAA Cards #202 - a sketch and twist of a gnome.
That's it! Whew, I hope I didn't bore you..........
Thanks for stopping by~
