Gnomes with Legos

TGIF everyone - I'm popping in after watching the latest Craft Roulette Live (#222 - replay HERE). I started a card during the Live but took an extra hour to finish! Here's my take:


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Solar White;
My Favorite Things Perfect Plaid (retired)
Doodlebug Designs Swiss Dot (retired)
Poptone Blue Raspberry
Stamps with Dies - My Favorite Things Hanging with My Gnomies (retired)
Dies - My Favorite Things Blueprints (retired);
Other - Copic Markers; foam tape

Mary Gunn FUNN had Chelsea Comer, another crafty YouTuber (Inky Stamper), as her guest. The roulette wheel spun some interesting parameters:




Project: Dutch Door - I made my first Dutch Door card and it's a Double Dutch fold as learned tonight by watching a tutorial with Creative Moments by G. That was running on my phone with me at the paper trimmer and scoring tool while Craft Roulette ran on the laptop; I was multi-tasking, as usual.

Colors: Gnomes - Googled and found a site claiming gnomes have 7 colors (Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red, Chocolate and Pink); I chose blue and red as main colors with a few touches of green & chocolate and, of course, white for the beard. 

Element: Movie - Given I used faux "Legos" for my random item, we'll call it "The Lego Movie".

Random: Building Block(s) - I created a trio of faux "Legos" for the top of my Dutch Door. Used a rectangle & circle dies plus foam tape.

Just because we spun gnome colors, we don't have to include gnome images but I couldn't resist. I was looking for my MFT sentiments that go with the handyman tools - no luck. Ran into the gnomes and thought the new home sentiment would be cute with building blocks. Here's a view of the dutch door open:


That's it for tonight, friends - hope you have a crafty weekend! Thanks for visiting!!

Fabulous Linda. Love how you managed to get your card done while watching the live! It's right at lunch time at my place, so I have to watch the replay. Love the double Dutch door - think I'll go for the easier single one. Hope to have time tomorrow to play
