I'll be Gnome for Christmas

Welcome Everyone;

This is the first week for my self challenge, I used the cute Cocoa Gnome from High Hopes Stamps latest release called "Woodsy Christmas" and some foil.  It certainly didn't go as  planned.  I used the Gina K Holiday Flora and foiled it twice; once with a piece of Sparkling Silver and again with some green foil.  I then took the negative and put it over the opposite colour.

Upon reflection, I would have just used a couple of strips, and that is what I will try the next time I do this.

Supplies used:

• Stamps:  Cocoa Gnome, Gnome for Christmas (Woodsy Christmas Release -- High Hopes Stamps)
• Ink:  Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black
• Paper:  XPress It Blending Cardstock; DP - Photoplay Mod Plaid Christmas
• Copic Markers:  E0000 - Floral White, E000 - Pale Fruit Pink, E00 - Skin White, W00 -Warm Gray No. 00, W0 - Warm Gray No. 0, W1 - Warm Gray No. 1, N0 - Neutral Gray No. 0, E31 - Brick Beige, E33 - Sand, E35 - Chamois, E25 - Caribe Cocoa, E27 - Africano, E29 - Burnt Umber, G46 - Mistletoe, G43 - Pistachio, R27 - Cadmium Red, R29 - Lipstick Red

I'll Be Home for Christmas!

Wednesday's roll around way too fast for me - but maybe that's because I spend so much time with the three grand babies - hmmmmm!  Anyhow, it's Wednesday again so that means it's time for me to share another sweet image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps newest collection Woodsy Christmas!

This is Cocoa Gnome that I have colored with Copic markers, then added highlights of Sakura white Glaze pen and Viva Decor pearl dots.  The colors of the image match the paper perfectly, which is an older paper from my stash.  A sentiment also from High Hopes Rubber Stamps completes the card!

Our Gnome To Yours

I have someone in my life who loves gnomes and hot chocolate.......so when I saw the newly released "Cocoa Gnome" from the Woodsy Christmas release I knew it would be perfect for their Christmas card. 

After stamping and colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and Prisma pencils, I cut it out using a stitching and pierce mark circle die. I added some stickles to his hat edge and pom pom. Patterned paper from Echo Park was perfect for my card design. All of the patterned paper edges were inked to match my colour scheme. Some sparkly icicles, gumdrops and sparkly ribbon finish off my card.
