Welcome "Gnome" Baby

I made this little baby card using the Welcome Gnome Baby Cling set and some papers from my stash. The stamps in the set are from Odd Bird Planet – I just love all the different Gnomes over there! The images are stamped in Memento Tuxedo and colored with Copic Markers. I cut the image and mattes out using Nestibility dies. I inked the image background with Tattered Rose Distress Ink using a duster brush with the cutting die still in place. The border at the bottom was made with...

They are like little bonus embellishments. I want to make a shaker card with these little snowflakes inside. Just thought I’d...

Its Tuesday – time for a magazine clipping from the “Inspiration Shoe Box” to become the basis for a card. If you remember, this was the picture from last week. I pulled this picture from the stack of clipping Debbie sent me. I like the crisp red and white color scheme – and the cute round pillows on the bed. So here is my card: I was going to stamp a red and white background – but then I found some red snowflake paper – so I went with a...
