Gnome for the Holidays

Afternoon lovlies.  When I saw this Gnome for the Holidays (BD-0432) set in the Holiday Trends mini, I just knew I had to have it. They are so dang cute and truthfully remind me of the Robertson's from Duck Dynasty. You can judge who is who.  I decided to make a preliminary Christmas card and those that know me know that I don't usually do whimsical Christmas cards, but how could I resist those little guys?

I went with a Double Z fold card...because I love them. My card base is Candy Apple (SC-0007) with Kiwi Slice (CS-0016) mat and Whip Cream (CS-0040) on top of that.  I stamped the gnomes onto Whip Cream cardstock using Black Licorice (IP-0041) color fusion ink pad and I used my Journey Color Burst pencils (JM-0077) to color the little guys and then the matching dies to cut them out. So easy.  The Sentiment is stamped using Kiwi Splash (IP-0024) color fusion ink pad.  I also used the Kiwi Splash to stamp the holly clusters and then just colored in the berries.

I also stamped the "Gnome for the Holidays" sentiment onto Whip Cream card stock using Kiwi Slice color fusion ink pad and then used the matching die to cut it out.  It is popped up using Journey foam squares (AD-0084).  Some splattered Silver Silk (IP-0090) (which doesn't show in the pictures very well) and my card was complete. 

Thanks for looking and I'm already thinking of ways to use these little guys on birthday cards all year round.  Be sure to visit my Fun Stampers Journey store to take home your Gnomes today. Remember that all ink pads and solid card stock are on sale (20%) off during the month of September. Stock up on all those holiday colors!
