Challenge Your Stash

 Have you ever made a card and just not like it?  Well today I made a card for our Challenge your Stash group on Splitcoaststampers.  The challenge came from Lisa and she decided we needed to celebrate National Write a Friend month by creating a card where you can easily write a note to a friend.

Well I had this adorable gnome stamp by Woodware Craft Collection called Floral Hat.  The fun for me is coloring the image.  Must come from when I was a child and could sit for hours coloring and no I never went outside the lines.  LOL  

This was my first attempt at the card.  I liked the coloring but the card itself just looked like it needed some color.  

And here is my second attempt.  I like it alot better.  It needed some color to bring out the colors in the hat.  

So thanks Lisa for a great challenge.  Since this is a slimline card, I will be able to write a nice long note to a friend.
