Now you should have arrived here from the insanely talented Melanie. If not, you can start at Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge Blog. Kimmie has a list of all the bloggers there in case you get lost along the way.

I've got two cards to show you today!! First up is one of Emilie's Garden Gnomes from HANGIN' WITH MY GNOMIES.

OMG! I soooo love these gnomes! He's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and then colored with Copics. YG90's for his shirt and cap, E30's for his britches. I gave a base layer of W2 to the rocks, and then finished them up with cool grays. To match the papers which are Basic Grey matted with Bazzill cardstock, I used BG70 and 72 for the water. Then used a neutral gray for the rock's reflection in the water and also added a touch of YG93 to the water reflection as well. I used R20's for the bobber. 

I hand cut the banner and corner pieces. Added some twine with a button, some corner pieces, and machine stitched the layers.

Next up is one of Annie's new flower girls called Poppy. She's so beautiful! This card didn't translate well with the digital camera. I like the combination of colors much better in person.

She's stamped with Memento ink onto Cryogen White paper and colored with Copic markers. She's then cut out with oval Nestabilities and then layered onto a frame cut with petite scalloped oval Nestabilities. The papers are digital  and are matted with Bazzill cardstock. The flourish is from Cheery Lynn Designs and the sentiment is on a Spellbinders frame.

So now it's time to move on to visit one of our amazing artists, Emilie Goulet! Again, be sure to leave some love for a chance to be a random winner! Thanks so much for hopping along with us today! Hope to see you back again soon! Hugs!
