Winter Birthday Card


 A thoughtful and generous friend of mine sent me a little surprise in the mail last week - a really cute set of Stampendous stamps with all these adorable little gnomes! It's a Christmas set, but I made a birthday card with one of those images. The frame was die-cut from white and sponged with assorted distress inks. I'm not sure who makes the striped dsp as the paper was loose without the cover. I colored the image with Copics and glaze pens, using a stick stamp to make the little snowflakes. I added drops of Nuvo crystal drops to the flakes and liquid applique to the hat. 

I'm going to slide this into the Seize the Birthday Challenge #218 - framed (just hours before closing 😊)



Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a safe and happy Tuesday!

Carol

Such lovely surprise you have had! Your friend knows that you love gnomes! :D And you has been so clever stretching this Christmassy lady-gnome to make a birthday card! :) LOVE how you coloured her to match the cheerful rainbow papers! A great design, so happy! The snow for the background and that on her hat add cuteness! Well done once again!
Hugs and love on your way!
