Holiday Gnomes with Spellbinders

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I’m sharing a card featuring the Holiday Gnomes set which is part of the new Be Merry Collection from Spellbinders.

To make the card background, first I cut thick strips of solid colored light blue and green cardstock. Next, I used the snowflake and heart icon stamps to create a pattern on the cardstock strips and glued them to a white piece of cardstock. I matted the cardstock onto a navy blue card base. I heat embossed the “Merry Christmas” sentiment with gold embossing powder onto navy blue cardstock and attached it to the card with foam tape.

To create the gnomes I stamped each image in multiple ink colors to allow for a layered look on each gnome. For example, on the middle gnome, I stamped the pants in green ink, nose and beard in black ink, and the hat in blue ink. I used my Copic markers to color the gnomes and their outfits to coordinate with the card background.

Lastly, I added gold sequins to the card for some extra embellishment.
