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
