Twist on the Gnome Stamp Set ~ Color Dare #407

Our Design Team at Color My Heart Color Dare has a great challenge for you this week. Use Grey or shades of Grey and choose ONLY 2 COLORS of your choice to go with the Grey. Black, White and Silver are free to use also. 

Make any paper craft you like and use the link on our home page to join the challenge. Ready? Let's go!

I made a card in another challenge that I loved so much I decided to remake it for this challenge. I'll put that one at the end of this post so you can compare the two cards. 

I'm also sharing this card with a challenge at Double Trouble. Their Thing 1 challenge is to make a Friendship type project (thinking of you, get well, etc., no birthday or celebration). Br sure to check out their full challenge and how it partners with our Color Dare!

My 2 colors to go with Grey are Glacier and Smoothie. Plus I Silver embossed the image and sentiment. I The stamp set has a couple of gnomes, sentiments and other accent images and I've used them A LOT! This design features the garden image and it clearly can hold it's own as the  main focal image! This is an easy card to make and you can substitute the papers, image and sentiment to suit any occasion.




This set retires on August 31st!
