Welcome, Friends.
Yay! Did I say I was excited to make it to the party?
I am. What a feat, and Happy Birthday to FMS for every challenge it took to get here!
While I knew I wasn't even close to participating in the challenge from the beginning, I did surprise myself while checking back -- my first challenge was 248! After starting my blog, I did not participate in any challenges for a while, only posting and hoping I didn't scare everyone away who tripped upon it. I guess I didn't because I still have friends - lol!
Here's my card for the current sketch ~
While I strayed from the sketch a bit, I had fun! To be honest, is the sketch an inspiration or should I have followed it closer?
I started with the gnomes and bees, coloring then cutting them. I also wanted to use the postage dies so I figured out my placement and popped up the stamp dies, then glued down the gnomes and bees. Hmm the bottom still looked bare, so I embossed it with a honeycomb die and popped up my sentiment. Is the yellow overpowering? Too much? Lastly, I used Wink of Stella on all the wings. None of these products had seen the light of day for a while.
Ok, then I second-guessed myself and decided I'd like to try a white sentiment strip. Which do you prefer?
Do you have an idea for FMS #700? Again, while I strayed a bit, I really like this card! Who's it going to? One never knows!
Supplies:
MFT Buzzing with Happiness stamps/dies, Peek A Boo Honeycomb die
WF - Nesting Postage die
That's it for me, Peeps! I hope you all have a marvelous weekend. And if you're like up, under a heat warning of triple digits until mid-Wednesday, stay safe and cool!

I love these guys!! [I don't think I've ever seen them before] Your inspiration comes through loud and clear, TK!! LOve the postage shapes and honeycomb embossing! Either sentiment works for me!
Thanks so much for having your way with our Sketch and for joining the party at FMS!

We all 2nd guess ourselves at times TK, but I really like the POP of yellow for the sentiment! It's YOUR card though and whatever you like best is what goes!!! Your gnomes are absolutely ADORABLE and colored perfectly! And I love the postage die cuts...obviously I do as I used them for my card too! Haha!! Sweet, sweet card my friend and glad you had fun and got to play along with the party!! Hugs. :0)
