Gnome place like home...7x5in card - 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!     

Today's latest handmade card for my 365 day challenge is a fun Gnome themed card...

  • I took a 7" x 5" sidefold landscape card (from Creative Crafting World) and cut two pieces of green textured cardstock (from Crafter's Companion) to look like grass hills.
  • I attached the lighter shade first and then made sure the darker one was cut properly and stuck that to the card. I used a tape pen as I didn't want any glue to seep through.
  • I love the gnome stamp from Hunkydory's For the Love of Stamps mini range and stamped it on to some white stamping card with Gina K Obsidian Black ink three times.
  • I coloured them in using Spectrum Noir Triblend markers, keeping to three main colours, Orange, Purple and Pink - I also used a grey to highlight their beards.
  • I also stamped out the Gnome sentiment and stuck it to some of the darker green card, giving it a wavy edge.
  • I cut the Gnomes out leaving a narrow white border around them.
  • I wanted them to be outside so used a sheet of the Nature's Gardens paper pad from Crafter's Companion and cut it so that I could use it as a canopy for the gnomes.
  • Before sticking them down with a mix of PVA glue and foam pads (for the left hand edge of the right hand piece), I used some Broken China Distress Oxide (Tim Holtz Ranger) and coloured the sky in.
  • I then stuck the papers down and used foam pads to attach the left hand gnome and tape pens for the other two. I made the one on the right hand side pop out from the paper for a bit of fun.
  • Finally, I added the sentiment to the bottom of the middle Gnome with a tape pen.


So if you think this sounds interesting then why not:-
