Gnome Wishes for the Paper Players

Happy Sunday and hooray for a new Paper Players challenge!  This week Anne Marie has a fantastic sketch for us:


It's fun, right?  And there's so many stamps out there now that have coordinating dies, it's super easy to find something for that great "any shape" element.  So I had to give my Storybook Gnomes suite a spin for today's card!


I decided to die cut the gnome and his feet are crooked and I'm going to go with I MEANT to do that ; )  The pattern on the central strip in the back is from the coordinating Storybook Gnomes DSP but then I went riffling through my DSP for some single-color patterns to coordinate.  The Crushed Curry strip is from the Tea Boutique stack; the polka dots is from some retired Brights DSP, and the gnome's hat is the In Color DSP that retired this past summer.  Four papers, four different sources, but I think they work together.

Hope you'll have fun with this sketch too!  Upload your sketchtastic creation to the Paper Players blog and have fun being creative!
