Gnome Sweet Gnome - Always Fun Challenge #144

Monday January 6, 2020

Hello.. We are back with another challenge over at 

Always Fun Challenge #144

Our theme this week is SOMETHING NEW

I used the Gnome die from the December Simon says kit.. I loved this when I first saw it was being added to the kit. I finally got to use it. I started with finding a green piece of scrap. I stamped with Stampin up ink the stick trees in the background. I then used calico spray to give some shimmer to the background. I used some white paint to add some snow. I used more scraps and SS die to create the ground and used Ranger ink along the edge. I took the house dies and more scraps and created the awesome houses. I then used more scraps in fun brighter colors and created the Gnome.. He's so cute. I used copics to color his nose and beard. I added the pieces to the gnome base and put the nose in a foam dot. I then added him to the card and stamped the SS sentiment. I love this fun image. I will be using this gnome with maybe some spring papers.. You see them in gardens all the time so they aren't always for Christmas.. no I don't have any gnomes in my yard. But I think it would be awesome to have a few.
