The sketch today was provided by Korin. It was a fun one to work with.
The color challenge was hosted by Julia and she chose real red, island indigo and wisteria wonder as our colors.
I used some real red bg dsp from SU for the layout-a retired print patterns pack and some new polka dot parade paper.
My image & sentiment are from the newly released stamp set from Marks Finest Papers - garden art.
I paper pieced the gnome's hat & boots in island indigo, his suit in real red and the flower in wisteria wonder. I also used prismacolor pencils and gamsol to color his skin, beard and the leaf.
To complete my card, I stamped my sentiment, used a border punch from MS and also added a punched dragonfly.

Mary a super card for both challenges. You really used the colors well and I really like the little gnome theme of your card. Wonderful choice too of DPs that co-ordinate so well together.
