Keep off the Grass!

Hey, guys! Boy, do I have a fun card for you today! If you didn't know, and really how could you, but I LOVE gnomes. Ever since my aunt gave me a ceramic garden gnome that she created years ago, I have been in awe of their whimsical bearded goodness. So when I saw the latest release from Stamping Bella, I absolutely needed a couple of the gnome sets. And if my wallet allowed me to get them all, you know I would!

I made this basically one layer card using the Turf War set from Stamping Bella. I stamped down both the flamingo and gnome on a white panel and got to coloring. I used Copics from the images and ground, then switched to Distress Inks and a cloud stencil for the sky. Then I foam mounted the panel to a white card base. One of the best parts of this particular stamp set is that the sentiment is included in the image! Which means I don't have to worry about forgetting a sentiment until the very end and not knowing how to incorporate it. Do you folks ever do that?! It seems like that how it happens every time.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I hope you found some inspiration to ink up some gnomes! Don't forget to stop by the shop to check out this stamp set and more crafty stuff! Have a great weekend!
