Gnome Matter What

 Good morning, It's been a while since I posted but I have lots of crafty news to share over the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!

My post today is using CutCardStock products o make this adorable Gnome card:

I used Pop-Tone cardstock in a variety of colors to build the gnome which is a die plate from Gina Marie Designs.

Once I had him put together I made him a background. using Neenah Classic Crest, a Cloud Stencil and some Tumbled Glass Distress ink I created a sky.

Then tearing Brown Bag Kraft Cardstock and inking the torn edges with Brown Corduroy gave me the ground for him to stand on.

I curved a sentiment, holding it in shape using my Misti and stamped this in Momento Tuxedo Black Ink.

Finally I added the whole design to a top folding A2 card base made from Pewter Grey Cardstock adhering it in place with foam tape to give some dimension to the card.

Up Up and Away

Good morning on this gorgeous spring day.

Today I am over on the SumMore Fun blog using a Raisin Boat set of stamps called Spring Is In The Air:

The cute hot air balloon was colored with alcohol to match this month's challenge mood board colors and both that and the adorable tiny bunny fussy cut. I used some cloudy sky patterned papers and die cut a penny slider 'flight path'. The same paper was placed underneath and I made a penny slider with the hot air balloon. You can see it in action here:

I stamped one of the many sentiments from the Spring is in the Air stamp set in the bottom corner and added another bunny face.

Once the mechanism was working I matted this onto blue card and my white card base. I added a few enamel dots to balance the design.

this is just another way that you can use our mood board for the challenge and be in with a chance of winning a gift certificate to our store:
