I'll be gnome for christmas

Hi Crafting friends

Welcome back to my blog - and this time, another Christmas card 

The first thing to point out is that I love gnomes… I mean I really love them.  Every time a new stamp set comes out with gnomes I have to stop myself from buying it.  I have to remind myself I have loads already, for many themes, however when I saw this stamping Bella gnomie set with the cute antlers, there was no resisting!

 

 

Ingredients

·         Stamped with - Stamping Bella – gnomedeer

·         Coloured with – spectrum noir triblend brush markers

·         Stencil – the range

·         Ink – shaded lilac distress ink

·         Glitter -Chloe sparklicious princess

 

I stamped the gnomes and coloured them in with fairly muted delicate shades.  I added some tiny white gel pen spots on their noses for interest.

I then used the ink and a blending brush to very lightly go over the snowflake stencil, just to give a bit of colour behind the gnomes and stamped the greeting that comes with the stamp set.

I then added my gnomes with foam tape for dimension.  I then realised it was still missing something… so I used a glue pen to run around the edge of the card, and sprinkled the chunky glitter which in the light , shines in different colours.  All added to a 5x7" card, and another simple but gorgeous card completed.

Thank you so much for stopping by
