Hi Crafty Friends and Happy FRI-YAY! I hope you have something extra special planned this holiday weekend (it's the 4th of July Holiday weekend here in the States). I am hoping for good weather with lots of sun as we want to BBQ, swim and watch fireworks. We live on a lake and our neighborhood puts on a nice fireworks show every year. They are beautiful to watch as they burst in the sky over the lake.
Today begins a new challenge at The Four Seasons Challenge Blog. We are continuing this month with the Summer Theme and the inspiration photo follows:
July is my favorite summer month because of the 4th of July and my birthday. I was inspired by the patriotic scenes in the photo so I've created a card featuring a Statue of Gnome-erty, the digital image is from TLC Designs and it's Gnorman for All. I recently won a prize from TLC Designs and this set was the 1st one I picked out...isn't he adorable?
I love the way this Gnome is drawn and I love the distressed sentiment. The 4th of July designed Digital background papers are from Design Lover Studio on Etsy. At the time of this writing, the papers are on sale at a 70% savings.
The image has been colored with Spectrum Noir Illustrator Alcohol Markers and I've added blue gems to complete the design. The focal and sentiment panels have been popped on craft foam for dimension.
Please join us at The Four Seasons Challenge this month. Please use the photo prompt as inspiration, we enjoy seeing all the entries and visiting everyone.
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
