Inkspirational Challenge #369 - Visual Prompt - Woodland Gnome - Woodland Deer Celebrate You and Woodland Bear (Nadine Karen Designs - March Kit)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #369. For the next two weeks (June 6 - 19), we invite you to draw inspiration from our Visual Prompt featuring a charming woodland scene.  From the plaid-clad gnome and toadstool accents to the soft florals, greenery, whimsical elements, textures and cozy cottage-garden feel: an abundance of details to spark your creativity.  ✨πŸ„πŸŒΏπŸ“¬


Alas, I do NOT do gnomes. Nope...no way.  That said, I do love whimsical images of forest animals, so I selected a sweet deer and darling bear as 'gnome stand-ins' for the two woodland cards I created. Both feature ephemera from the March kit collection I purchased from Nadine Karen Designs, a Canadian designer in BC. Her kits are delightful and jam-packed with crafting opportunities galore. 

Hope my little woodsy scenes bring you a smile.



Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my talented team, then join us in the gallery with a card/project of your own.


Thank you for dropping by!

Two absolutely darling card designs, Carol! I love these animal and woodland images in the soft forest colors. Pretty edges on both of your cards as well! Julia xx

Those forest animals in your beautiful cards are so cute! I'm not really into gnomes either, but appreciate the Norse mythology and culture behind them. Shalom!
