Gnome For The Holidays - Whimsy Stamps

 Happy Fri-Yay friends!

I'm ahead of the curve here - and that does not happen very often if ever!

My two Christmas cards a month project is going well and my March cards are already in the bag!   o-:

I had a lovely time making these card - there's something so satisfying about colouring gorgeous gnomes!

I have used a stamp set from Whimsy Stamps - 

Gnome For The Holidays Clear Stamps by Crissy Armstrong

I have used this stamp set a lot - it is a beauty!

The gorgeous gnomes are stamped onto kraft card die cut with the 

Slimline Card Builder Die Set 

and coloured with Prismcolor Pencils.  (I'll pop the colours I used at the end of this post for you).

I used my two favourite large word dies Happy and Merry to die cut some Tartan paper and finally added a sentiment from the

You're My Jolly Clear Stamp Set 

which I stamped onto a banner die cut with the 

Quick Strips Die Set

Finally I added a sentiment from my favourite set

Simple Sentiment Strips Clear Stamps

I was inspired by the fabulous artist Jennifer Rustioni (Armi e Ritagli) when I coloured these gnomes.  I Iove how Jennifer adds a 3D shadow to her images - thank you Jennifer for being so inspirational!
