Card Sketch Using A St. Patrick's Day Gnome

 Hello I have a fun St. Patrick's Day Card today.  I used a Digital Stamp Illustrated by Crystal Minkler.  You can grab this Digital stamp for free if you are a Member of the Tawny Owl FB Group.  I chose to use my Gnome for the Top Inky Inspiration Sketch 30.

This is the Lucky Gnomie Digital Stamp Illustrated my Crystal Minkler isn't it cute?  I printed it on some Hammermill cardstock 100 pounds and then colored it with my alcohol markers.  I then fussy cut her out.

I found some Doodlebug Design Pattern Paper 6x6 in my stash.  I cut the flowers and stripes pattern paper according to the sketch 2 x 5 1/4.  I basically used 1 sheet double sided.  I like that the papers coordinate nicely. I used the Lucky Gnomie as my Any Shape.  The flower ephemera is also from Doodlebug and it's considered my other any shape.  

I found some Chevron Pattern paper A2 card bases in my stash,  so I used this as my 4 1/4 x 5 1/ 2.  I had the green sentiment strip in my stash using Taylored Expressions that I glued to a white strip as the card sketch.  I had so much fun with this card.  Thanks to Crystal for this fun sketch and digital stamp.  I also we be linking my card to the Simon Says Stamp A Bit O' Green Monday Challenge. I love using Pattern Paper and sketches for favorite techniques on my cards.

You Are Adored Gnome Girl Valentine's Card

 Hello everyone.  Happy Friday, I have a sweet Valentine card today.  I have been wanting to participate in the Tawny Owl Paperie Card Sketch  This sketch is #29. 

Isn't this Gnome Girl Digital Stamp Cute? This digital stamp is called Gnomie Love.  Crystal Minkler illustrated her.  I love it I think it's adorable.  I printed her out on white paper 100 pound and colored her with Copic markers and OLO Markers.  I then fussy cut her out.  

Next, on the same paper I ink blended the Lawn Fawn Lots of Hearts Background Stencil.  I used Catherine Pooler inks in Sugared Lavender and Tutti Frutti.  I love Layering Stencils.  I cut my background according to the sketch and since I had some leftover stenciled background I chose to use it again because I loved it so much.  I cut out gray and a pinkish colored papers and cut them for my mats according to the sketch.

I stamped a sentiment from a Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2024 with black ink and cut it out with a Spellbinders banner die also from the same Advent Calendar.  Everything was glued to a A2 card base and my Gnome girl takes the place of a circle or shape.  Lastly, I added some white gel pen accents and some glitter with my glitter pen.  Would you like to grab this free gnome digi?  She's perfect for Valentine's Day.  You must join the Tawny Owl Paperie FB Group and find out the details on how to get this cute digital stamp.

A Gnome and his Holiday Coffee

 Hello everyone.  I'm so excited for the Coffee Lovers Fall Winter Blog Hop that starts today.  I have a card I made using Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  They are a Sponsor and you can win a $25 gc to the store. Make sure to comment on the Sweet 'n sassy Stamps Blog post.

On my card, I used the Winter Gnomes stamp set.  I had already had it stamped and cut out with my brother scan n cut.  I colored it in with my Copic Markers.  I went for some traditional colors.  On my background, I ink blended some white cardstock with Weathered Wood Distress oxide ink. I did make my own snow drift using scissors and white cardstock.  I cut my cardstock and snow drift to be smaller than A2 size.  I then glued my panel to a A2 card base and added my snow drift with foam tape.  Next, I glued my gnome.

I then stamped some snowflakes from the same stamp set with the same distress oxide ink onto my background.  I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Holiday Cheer Stamp on red cardstock and white ink with white embossing powder.  I cut my sentiment and decided to stamp  "gnome' for a pun. I glued my sentiment and that finishes my card. I also added some white gel accents with my gelly roll pen and used a gray marker to drawn in some snow.  I hope you like it.  I had a lot of fun making it.  Now, I will grab a cup of coffee and do some hopping.
