Happy Friday!!! It's Jeanne today with another card using the Magical Garden dies. This one features the cute little gnome an a tree stump.
The card came together very quickly, in large part because I used the sketch from this week's sketch challenge at Splitcoaststampers.
The first thing I did was pick the papers so I knew what colors I'd use for the gnome. The panel is A2 size and I used the largest tag from the Mail Tag dies and the third smallest rectangle from the Stitched Rectangle set. I had this cute sentiment which I thought worked perfectly for this little guy if I had him hold a rose instead of his lantern.
Once I had the panel, tag and sentiment cut out, I die cut the gnome from both white and vanilla card stock. Normally I would just use the vanilla for everything but I needed a white beard so I used the white as well.
I ended up coloring him in a combination of regular dye inks, Distress Oxide Ink (the tree stump) and Copic markers (the small pieces - belt, rose, stem, etc.). I used just a touch of the DO on his nose and cheeks for a rosy glow.
To get him to hold the rose I simply rotated his hand and snipped off part of the underneath part of the arm/hand. When he was assembled I glued him to the tag.
I then assembled the card. The tag is popped up using foam and I added the baker's twine to the top of the tag.
Super quick and fun card to make!
