There's Gnome one like you

 Hello lovely crafters, 

Here is another card for our Shopping your Stash challenge. 

There's Gnome one like you - a card featuring at least one Gnome.


The only Gnome stamps I have are Christmas stamps so Christmas card it is. This is a PolkaDoodles stamp and to my shame, I have never used it before. I'm more of an inky effects card maker. 


This is nothing like what I planned when I chose kraft card but heyho! I think I'd imagined pale snowy colours but instead I give you red and green. 
The lamp is a separate stamp so I cut out a partial mask to stamp it behind the carol singers. 

After I'd mounted it on a piece of very old card stock, so old I don't even know where it came from, I went in with a white pen and added a leafy border. Thus proving why I use stamps and don't draw my own cards. 😁

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

  1. Is there ever a time that a card turns out like it was envisioned? Your job of colouring on Kraft and the picky part of masking is awesome. I like your leafy border it's unique and one of a kind card. Great job.
