Sending Sunshine


 With all of the rain we've been getting lately, it's time to spread a little sunshine - even if it's done with a card.
I stamped this Inkadinkado gnome mage and colored him with Copics, then die cut him with a stitched rectangle die and matted with black.
I used some layered sunburst stencils from Pink Fresh to create the background, using 3 different yellow inks and die cut that panel with a stitched rectangle too.

I'll share this with these challenges:


*Optional theme Easter/Spring

Here's wishing all of us a lot more sunshine in the coming days of Spring.
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!
Carol

Great use of the stencil to draw the eye to your cute gnome. The whole effect is a wonderful cheerful card. Thanks for taking part at Allsorts challenge.

Oh, just love your gnome card! The gnome image is so cute with bee on the hat and holding the sunflower! Beautiful rays coming out from behind the image! A perfect great card, so cute!!

Darnell said...

This is darling, Carol! I'm sure underneath all that hair he has a sunny smile from ear-to-ear! I'm glad to hear you are getting some rain considering you haven't had much winter snow, but I hate to hear about the wind! Here, too, with the wind; for about three years now we've had more wind than ever before. Have a great day! Hugs, Darnell

Love how bright and cheerful this little gnome is.(I think. His hat and beard hide his face.)The flower and rays of sunshine say it all.

Hugs and Blessings
