Gnome Birthday



I had a request to make several birthday cards for a sister and a daughter, and this is one that I came up with using a Simon Says Stamp gnome die and some snippets of card stock. The background was embossed with a CB birthday ef and the lower portion was die-cut with a SSS dot scalloped border die. The balloons were done with a MS punch while the birthday sentiment was done with a SNSS birthday stamp. The white-embossed sentiments on black were done with a retired SU! set and cut with a word window punch. I had to give that gnome a bright pink nose with a fluorescent pink Copic just for fun.

I'll enter this into the following challenges:

    I like how you've put the gnome onto a Birthday card, its nice how just changing up the colours you can get more from your stash. I rather like that dotty scallop border you've used... very pretty card x
