Gnome for Christmas


 Here's a card I made for a previous sketch challenge that closed before I could post it. Nothing new there ๐Ÿ˜ I used snippets of red, white, and green cardstock; along with leftover strips of dsp from a Christmas paper pad, cutting them into banners. The gnome  from Stampendous was colored with Copics, and placed on 2 stitched circle dies, and the sentiment was placed on 2 stitched square dies. I added a few red gems just for fun.

I'm sharing this with

the Snippets Playground #410

It was also going to be entered in the August Rudolph Days but it's been cancelled this month due to illness in Maureen's family. I hope they all feel better soon!

That's another one for the stash which I need to build as Christmas will be here before I know it! Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a beautiful day!

The plaid papers of your banners are adorable and that cute gnome is coloured so beautifully, he has also a lovely grey shadow that gives more dimension. You choose a fun sentiment too, and your whole card is packet with a great design!
