Happy Friday peeps! Boy, is it raining where you are? RAIN RAIN RAIN, all day long! I feel like a mushroom! Well, I did hunker down in my stamp room yesterday and created a couple cards; the one I'm sharing today is for the FMS sketch:
I had used a sketch very similar to this at my last club but I loved how Linda used the Stitched Triangle Dies for her card, so I thought I would give that a go, using my new Classic Christmas papers in Sahara Sand and one of those darling gnomes from Gnome for the Holidays! So here we go:
I thought I'd try my hand at stamping my gnome in Sahara Sand, then coloring him with Blends, and it worked pretty well! You can't see it, but his bell and hat are liberally adorned with Wink of Stella! He looked a little lost just perched upon the DSP, so I punched out a little oval of glimmer paper so he had something to stand on! I added a mat of Real Red and stamped the sentiment from the same set:
He was a little time-consuming to cut out but the rest of the card was so easy, it went together in a jiffy!
Here are a few more jack-o-lantern pix!
Drawing the face:
Yikes! She is scaring me with that knife!
Wayne brings in the artillery....a power drill! Stay tuned tomorrow to see the final results!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
