Hello peeps, and happy Saturday! I have another purple card...can you believe it? This is actually the first card I made for yesterday's As You See It challenge, but I ended up in going in a different direction! But it was still kind of cute, so I decided to share it with you today. It also uses the colors from CAS Colours and Sketches challenge; my card isn't exactly CAS, but I'll share it anyway. Here are the colors:
And here we go:
I began by making a "quilt" of two gingham DSPs, using my Stitched Triangle dies and a Basic Gray square as a base. I stamped one of the gnomes and his little tree home from Gnome for the Holidays in Basic Gray ink and watercolored them in, then fussy-cut them out and mounted them on the quilt:
The sentiment from Many Mates was stamped and heat-embossed in white, then diecut and popped up. I also added a ribbon, a tiny tag from a long-retired set and some Pinewood Planks embossing on the background! I think this would make a cute birthday card, so it's going in my stash for the next one that comes up! Thanks for popping in today!
We have so many trees around our property, it would be impossible to rake all the leaves that fall, but we do try to rake up the ones on the front yard so they don't kill our grass. After blowing them into a looong pile, John brought the tractor and wagon over for me to load up.
Cassidy used to like to jump into the piles, but my other "child" made up for it:
He's just a big kid at heart! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteJohn, you're a kid after my own heart! Move over! I'd like to have a turn, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteI DO believe it... purple seems to be growing on you! And I gnome this cute little guy appreciates it!
=]
ps what a gorgeous piece of PA paradise you have there, my friend!
ohhhhh, I just LOVE this card! Purple is my favorite color, and I love the gnome and stitched triangles indicating a quilt! Simply fabulous! I can relate to John - my most favorite thing to do in autumn while growing up was rake leaves into a big pile and jump into them again and again! It kept me occupied for hours :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card LeAnne...and love the purple.. I created a highland heather card the other day...so I guess we're on the same page! I love it when our men remind us that they are boys still..haha.. so much fun! Have a blessed day ♥️😊
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore your creation! John is a kid after my own heart. It's one of the reason we want to move to NC so we can rake leaves...NOT! But they are fun to play in and burn.
ReplyDeleteYour gnome looks fabulous in this color!! Loving that gingham too. Thanks so much for playing along with us at the CC&S challenge blog!
ReplyDeleteGnomes! I love the gnomes! The gingham patterned paper cut with the triangle dies is a great touch as well. Leaves are very popular around here, by appearances we don't have nearly as much front yard and you guys, however, my youngest (12) still insists on blowing them into a pile so she and her older brother (16) can pounce in them. Both are still very much kids at heart. Thanks for the memories and for joining us this week at CC&S.
ReplyDeleteAs cute as your purple gnome card is... John steals the show tonight! He looks like he had fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your gingham quilt, LeAnne! The gnome looks quite happy on it too! I have a card sitting on my desk that says "you are never too old to play in the leaves." Guess that's true.
