Kringle Gnome


 I'd completely forgotten about this adorable gnome die a sweet friend sent me for Christmas last year, but as soon as I unearthed it from my Christmas stash, I made my first card with it, using snippets and papers from a Kringle & Co paper pad - which is why I call him my Kringle Gnome :) I used some smoky slate cardstock to create the stitched frame, and added a SU! sentiment to the top. I added Wink of Stella to his hat trim, pom-pom and mitten and boots fur. 

I'm going to enter this card into the following challenges:




NBUS #20 - use something never before used (gnome die)


Thanks for stopping by and I hope all you shoppers can get in on some great Black Friday sales today. Enjoy your Friday whether you shop or not!
