Balloon Gnome by KLM

I just love gnomes. This is Balloon Gnome by KLM Designs. I created a 5x7 card for this image. I think that Balloon Gnome is just perfect for any celebration. 

I used Distress Ink Crayons to create the background and then used a stencil to create a bit of grass, clouds and stars too. This was a fun card to create.

The Distress Ink Crayons are so fun to use. You simply scribble them on and use a wet paper towel to blend. They create lovely colors. After the background was dry, I used a stencil to create the clouds and grass. I used Distress Inks for both.

Distress Ink Crayons:

•  Peeled Paint
• Sapphire

 

• Speckled Egg
• Mowed Lawn

 

Delicata Gold Ink

I also used a die and cut out two strips of grass. I used a dabber to apply the Mowed Lawn to the strips.

I colored the image with the following Copics:

• Hat - Y06, Y08, Y15, and Y38
• Overalls - Y000, Y00, Y02, and Y38
• Shirt - Y15, Y17, Y38, G17, G28, and G85
• Shoes - G17, G28, and G85
• Nose - E002, E11, and R30
• Beard - W00, W02, and W003
• Balloon - B02, B12, and B14

 

I also used a die and cut out two strips of grass. I used a dabber to apply the Mowed Lawn to the strips.

I colored the image with the follwoing Copics:

Overalls - Y000, Y00, Y02, and Y38

There is always time for a Christmas tea party

This adorable image is Tea Time by Digi Doodles Studio. I just love a tea party.

 I created a 5x7 card. I used paper from my stash. The die set is an Anna Griffin set that I have had for a few years. I typed up the sentiment "Christmas is perfect with you and tea" on my computer and printed it on cardstock. I do love the flexibility of adding my own sentiments. 

I used the following Copics:

• Hair - E79, E74, E71, and E70. I made one of the girls a bit more brunette
• Skin - E000, E01, E02, E11, and R30 for the rouge

Cherry Blossom Bird - ever so pretty!

For this card I chose Cherry Blossom Bird stamp from KLM Designs. KLM has both photo polymer and digital stamps. This image is a digital stamp, but their photo polymer stamps are awesome!

This was a fun card to create. I wanted to use the sentiment "Sending Hugs" which came with the stamp set. I thought that it was important to have an uplifting background for the sentiment and stamp.

This is a 5x7 card. I used Copic Xpress paper and cut it to size. To create the rainbow background, I used Tim Holtz Distress Crayons. To create this background, I colored with the crayons. I took a baby wipe and saturated the colors. Once the colors were dry I used a bit of Spectrum Noir glitter ink. I took a thin paint brush and created a marble affect. 

I colored the bird with Copics in shades of orange, yellow, blue and greens. I used lilacs, red, and green for the flowers.

 Distress Crayons:

• Seedless Preserves
• Chopped Sapphire
• Peeled Paint
• Fossilized Amber
• Festive Berries

Spectrum Noir gold glitter ink

Copics:

Bird - Y11, Y13, Y15, Y16, Y35, B02, B04, B12, G03, G05, ans G12

Flowers - V000, V01, V95, R24, R27, and R29.

 I used my Scan N Cut to cut out the stamp and used dimensionals to pop it up on the card. I used a bit of twine to set off the image and a gold sun embellishment too. I think the card is just perfect to give to someone who is having a difficult time.

Chef Gnome by KLM Designs - such an adorable Gnome!

For this card I used Chef Gnome by KLM Designs. This is a wonderful photopolymer stamp set. I just love Gnomes and KLM creates the cutest Gnomes ever! I made a 5x7 card.
