Musical gnome

Hello there,

It's time for a new challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog which starts today. As usual it last for about a month so I do hope that you'll join us.

The theme as always is Fantasy, however as long as it's Fantasy pretty much anything goes. If you're not sure what we mean by that just check out the guidance in the side bar on the blog.

This month I've chosen a musical gnome as my theme. I needed to make a birthday card for my brother who is very much into his music so when I saw this image I thought it would really fit the bill. I used CraftArtist to create the backing paper by adding different images to the Gamer Dude paper.

Card recipe

8 x 8 white card blanks glued together to create the fold back card

Black card for mats and musical notes

Polkadoodles Music Record Collector Gnome images, and backing paper from Gamer Dude

Tonic musical notes dies and Deco die for the topper

Extra embellishments from Papercraft Essentials Issue 199

I hope you like the card I've made, please leave a comment to let me know what you think if you've got time. I do like to read them all.
