Hello! It's Tricia here today sharing a card inspired by my gnome garden! I have a new one that I created this spring with the cutest little gnomes. As I was looking through my stamps, I saw the Gnome for Christmas and knew that I could make a spring inspired card! I started going through more of my SugarPea Designs stamps to see if I could find other stamps to pair with it to "spring" it up. I found the perfect little accessories with Hey Summer. I used the birds and flowers from the set.
I decided to do a slimline card design. I love these and I have perfected the measurements so that I can use one sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 inch card stock. The panel measures 3 1/2 by 8 1/4 inches. Cut 3 1/2 inches off the long side of the card. This will leave 7 1/2 by 8 1/2 left for the card base scored at 3 3/4 inches.
I started by ink blending with Distress Oxides inks onto the card panel with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean. I created the grassy area by using the Card Front Element Builder
and die cutting some scrap white card stock with one of the border dies from the set. I inked this strip up with Distress Oxides in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. I stamped a sentiment from another oldie but goodie stamp set called Chunky Monkey. I thought that the sentiment was perfect for today's environment!
I stamped the images Gnomes and Trees from Gnome for Christmas and stamped the flowers and birds from Hey Summer onto Neenah card stock and then colored with my Copic markers. I die cut them out with the Gnome for Christmas and Hey Summer SugarCut.
To finish off my little scene, I die cut the clouds and sun from the Whatever the Weather SugarCut. I added a few details with a white gel pen and then added some crystal sequins. It turned out perfect and matches my little gnome garden. Thanks for stopping by today!
