It's my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge (FS819) so a big congrats to Charmaine! She has a wonderful gallery and after much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept the big circular element and bright colors but used different images, dies and left off the shaker element.
For my autumn gnome card, I started by masking a large circle and sky area & sponging in some bright green for the ground. After reversing the horizontal mask, I sponged in the bright blues for sky then used the reverse circular mask to sponge in the yellows & oranges for the sun. The gnome house and gnome were stamped on separate pieces of card, colored. The gnome was die cut and I fussy cut the gnome house. The gnome was popped up a bit & I added some little leaves here & there.
thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog: The Write Stuff

Oh my goodness but I do love this bright cheery creation. Your colors are fabulous so huge kudos on the masking and ink blending. That gnome and his home are so darn cute. Love the extra leaves you scattered about. It's those little touches that made a good card a fabulous one. Fabulous card.
