Tricycle Gnome

      I absolutely adore Conie Fong's gnomes and I used one of her latest, "Tricycle Gnome" on this DT card.  I decided on soft, spring pastels (favorites of mine this time of year when the winter has just lasted too long!) and a birthday sentiment (also from this set.)   

     I think Birthdays are the best occasions of all.  Major holidays can be stressful with family commitments, gifts to buy for all, or heavy meals to plan, but simple birthdays put the focus on one person and sharing cake is always a joy, not a stress.  :-D

     I colored the image with my ProMarkers, then cut it with a fancy die from Spellbinders.  I mounted that onto green dp from K & Co.  The final touch was to add sheer, pink ribbon, wrapped around the card front and tied into a bow.  Pretty quick and simple.


     Challenges:

     We need a few more people to enter either one of the monthly challenges before they end on the 28th.  In order to award prizes, our policy is to have a minimum of 8 different people (not entries) enter either the 'coloring only' challenge or the 'completed projects' challenge, using one of Conie's darling images (there are freebies available if you don't have any of her images.)  Grab an image and enter one of the challenges.  You could end up being the person who wins images from Conie Fong!

    Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
