Hearts and flowers from the gnome

Hello,

It's time for another challenge over at the Fairy and Unicorn Challenge blog, which as always starts the first Saturday of the month. As usual it lasts for about a month so I do hope that you'll join us. This month I decided to use a pretty gnome image by Polkadoodles. I'm not sure yet who I will give it to, or on what occasion so I've not added a sentiment yet.

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 Challenge Rules and in the side bar on the Challenge blog. 



Card recipe

8 x 8 white card blank
Strawberry Sundae card 
White card and white flower embossed card
Polkadoodles Spring Gnomes digi set
John Next Door Layering Dies
Sizzix heart die
Vaessen Creative flower punch
"Diamond" gems and brads from my stash

I'd like to enter this card for the following challenges:

World Wide Open Design Team Challenge #1


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 appreciate them and like to read them.



Please also join us over at the 
Fairy and Unicorn Challenge this month, we'd love to see you.

Our theme this month is Anything Goes - so let your creative juices flow! I've made a card  to celebrate a 21st birthday, so it's quite a special card, and also has a box as it's very dimensional with the flowers.
