Garden Gnome Girl Myra

Introducing Garden Gnome Girl Myra!  Isn't she sweet?  Her little nut wheelbarrow is full to the brim with flowers freshly picked to bundle and send to a friend.  This adorable design by Amy of Sweet November needed little help from background papers so I used an old doodlebug blue dotted as a border to accent her blue dress and bonnet.  A free form paper pieced sun and a grass border die cut were the only other papers used.  Not wanting her apron to compete with the sun, I opted to make it striped yellow and white rather than solid yellow.  I chalked the sky with clouds, added three cute little puffed birds, stamped on the sentiment "Hello Friend", and voila, the card was complete!


Please check out Amy's blog, A Thousand Sheets of Paper, Nancy's blog, Creative Palette, and Marion's blog, Card's by MarionE to see their creations using Garden Gnome Myra.  Amy is once again so generous in offering blog candy.  All you have to do is leave a nice comment on our blogs.  All the names will go in a hat, and a winner will be drawn for each of the three Garden Gnome Girls.  If you are not one of the lucky winners, do not despair.  The stamps, both digi and rubber, will be available for purchase at All That Scraps on the night of Thursday, July 5th.

  10. Love that you colored in an entire scene and the blue and yellow combo looks so fresh and bright! I also really love how you gave her apron stripes instead of coloring in the whole thing... I'm definitely going to remember that for sometime! Thanks for inspiring!
