Peachy Keen Release Day Post 3

Hello again! Here is my 3rd and final (and I think favorite!) card for the morning: 

I used just the new March Kit of the Month for this card:

PKSC - 03 March 2012

This set of stamps just makes me SMILE!!! And I LOVE this card so much! I stamped and paper pieced it with some of my favorite papers from Basic Grey (Picadilly 6x6 paper pad) and My Minds Eye (On The Bright Side 6x6 paper pad). 

I pop-dotted the oval - cut with my Spellbinders Nestabilities - from the background, and tucked some ribbon tabs behind it.  

The edges of everything were inked with Tim Holtz distress ink in Antique Linen. And I added some stick on pearls under the sentiment. 

My favorite part about this card? I paper pieced the hat so that it comes right off the top and continues on!!! I think it came out so fun and different! LOVE it! 

The bow at the bottom is made of Baker's Twine, and has a Papertrey Ink Button and some button Twine on it.

I stamped and paper-pieced a little mushroom and flower from the kit as well, adding some white gel pen to highlight it a bit, and put those in the bottom corner - just cause it felt like something was missing! 

Yep - I'm in love with these gnomies! Hope you take some time to check out all the new releases and join in with the release party over on the Peachy Keen Connection! 

I am also linking this up with the Playdate Cafe Color Challenge - where I got my color inspiration!
