Celebrate and Share A Milkshake with a Friendly Gnome

 For my second card using the Share a Milkshake bundle I couldn't resist throwing in the Friendly Gnomes stamp set to go along.  I've actually made this card with my grandson's birthday in mind.  It's on March 18, so I decided a Granny Apple Green along with Balmy Blue would be perfect for him as these are his two favorite colors and definitely goes along with a little St. Patrick's Day vibe.  I do love how it turned out.  I'm sure he will love it.  To watch how I put this card together, check out my YouTube channel for the replay HERE:
