Happy Gnomeness!

Thank you so much for visiting me!  I have a Christmas card today - in fact it is the Christmas card I made for my husband, Darren.


The gnomes are from Two Jay's Stamp Company and were stamped and embossed on snippets of white card, coloured with Sentimentally Yours watercolour pens, fussy cut out then glued inside the wonderful Lavinia wreath which was stamped in nocturn Versafine Clair in first and second generation ink.  The additional little stamps are from the same Lavinia set except the snowflakes which are a separate Lavinia set of just snowflakes.  The Heart is from a Sizzix  die set and is cut from a snippet of red card and the hanger is a snippet of white card cut to fit. then coloured in.  There is Glossy Accents on the darker berries on the wreath, the heart, the hats, the buttons and the boots.  Red stickles in the centre of the snowflakes and glitter everywhere!  The fur on the gnomes hats is actually dries white glue with added glitter.  The card is a 7 x 7 inch with mats cut with dies.  I was pleased how this turned out and Darren loves it!

I would like to enter the following challenges:

We Love Chocolate Baroque - Anything Goes
Allsorts Challange Blog - Sparkle and Shine.

Thank you again for visiting me and whatever you do this Christmas/holidays - have the best time you  possibly can.  For those of you who are sad this year - I send you extra special thoughts and hugs.  

Take care and stay safe. Hugs.  Christine xxxxxx

What a great card, I love the look and I always love Lavinia stamps even though I don't own a single one! The gnome stamps are brilliant. It's inspiring to see something different. Enjoy the rest of the holiday x
