Hello crafty friends, welcome back to the blog. I have been working on lots of Valentine's Day creations, and I had to make sure to create a card using the super sweet gnomes from the Gnomie Cupcakes stamp set.
I first stamped out my images and then fussy cut them out. I then used Copic Markers to color them.
I took an A2 panel and then ink blended it with Lumberjack Plaid, Abandoned Coral, and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxides. I took the Popcorn Stencil and ink blended it with Lumberjack Plaid and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxides onto the panel.
I then die cut a heart out of the panel using a heart die that I had in my stash. I took another A2 panel and ink blended it with Seedless Preserves and Villainous Potion Distress Oxides.
I then splattered both panels with white watercolor. I adhered them together using adhesive tape.
With the sentiment, I heat embossed it onto green cardstock using Embossing Ink and white embossing powder. I then adhered it to the panel using foam tape.
I completed the card by adding my two images using foam tape.
