Christmas Gnome


 So once again I whoosh from spring right into making a Christmas card!
I love the gnomes, so I used this SSS gnome die along with a paper pad from Kringle to make this card. I used a MFT notched border die along with some Lawn Fawn stitched snowflake dies, and added a SSS pre-printed sentiment. I also used a couple bits of red polka dot designer paper for the gnome's hat and the vertical panel on the left. The plaid and snowflake papers are from the Kringle paper pad. I added a few dots of liquid pearls to the centers of the snowflakes.

I'm sharing this with the following challenges:


The Jingle Belles Challenge - We wish you a plaid Christmas

Christmas Kickstart Challenge #60 - Snowflakes are winter's butterflies




Wishing you all a good week ahead and a good weekend too!

Carol
