I just got a bunch of new goodies this week from MFT so this challenge was perfectly timed!  I fell in love with the new You Gnome Me set and thought the small brick stencil would make a perfect background.  I used Distress inks in Fired Brick and Old Paper to stipple a brick effect onto some white card stock and then stamped and coloured one of the gorgeous gnomes in Distress markers.  I die cut the flowers and stems from the Spring Garden Die-namics set and paired it up with a little fence and grass from Taylored Expressions.  The frame was cut from woodgrain cardstock using the Stitched Rectangle dies from Simon Says Stamp.
