I have fallen in love with Gnomes who knew!  This was such a fun card to create.  I just can’t quick smiling when I’m working with the “Gnome for the Holidays” stamp set by Stampin UP!  They just make me giggle!  Not sure why but they bring joy to me!  I added some “Tis the Season” Designer series paper, Wonderful gems and the Whisper White ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season ribbon combo.  I colored the ribbon with a Shaded Spruce stampin blend. Once you stamp the images then the coloring begins with Stampin Blends!   So here’s how I put it all together!

  1. Layer 1 – Using Black Memento Ink stamp the Gnome house image in the upper right hand corner making sure to get the top edge of the image even with the top edge of the sheet.
