Gnome for the Holidays Card

Here's another quickie post with today's card.  I've been thinking about the current color challenge at The Cameo Spotlight for what feels like weeks (ok, it's been almost 2 weeks).  My first attempt just left me feeling like I hadn't quite conquered it. So I decided to have another go at it, with a little push from the theme challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  The theme is snowflakes, right up my alley since I can't seem to make anything but a Christmas card lately, but I'm going to try to switch it up soon!

I used the SU! colors Poppy Parade (love that red, wish it wasn't retired) Peach Parfait and Lucky Limeade,  I felt like they were perfect for the challenge graphic at TCS.  I love this silly stamp! I usually consider myself anti-pun, but this one won me over.  I'm learning to "never say never" when it comes to being creative.  I colored him with my SU! markers, and you can tell I really haven't done much coloring, with all the amazing work people are doing with colored images it makes me realize my practice as a kid isn't really holding up...well, you gotta start somewhere!  I cut the hexagons and snowflakes with my Cameo and covered the snowflakes with glue and dumped them into a bowl of glitter.  A ton of glitter stuck to them but it reminds me of actual snow that way.

Here's the color combo that kicked my butt (in the very best way):

  And this week at HSS:

Thanks for looking, you should "gnome" it makes my day!
