Merry Gnome Christmas

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This design was inspired by the challenges at Sunday Stamps Challenge and TGIF Challenges.

This sketch was perfect for using these darling little gnomes! I stamped and colored the same image three times, but decided to leave one little guy with a white beard. I added the gems to the hats for a bit of bling.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Kindness Gnomes

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This design was inspired by the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday.

There was a lot of coloring on this card with Stampin' Blends - I've got a bucket full of markers in the last photo! - but it went together pretty quickly after that. The trickiest part was getting that diagonal piece just right. I was originally going to cut triangles for the corners but decided that would be even harder to get right!

I'm sending this off to Katie at Undercover Kindness Gnomes to thank her for everything she does to extend kindness to others. If you've never heard of her, check her out on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. She creates the most beautiful little felted gnomes! Here's the one she sent me to pass along.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
