Inkredible Stamping

Hi Stampers, When I first saw the Gnome Sweet Gnome stamp set I wasn't really inspired to create… I like Gnomes – but the set wasn't sparking any card ideas in my head…. The I happened to catch Gnomeo & Juliet on TV the other day and suddenly I had card ideas in my head 🙂

My Gnomeo is a Red and a Blue – A nice happily ever after…

Gnome Sweet Gnome Stamp Set (Clear Mount: 126537 or Wood Mount: 126535)

This year – one of my goals is to get one of my projects into the pages of a crafting magazine. So I originally created this card for a Sketch Challenge Call for Submission…

Basic Directions

1. Fold card stock to create a card.
2. Use Post It Notes to mask a piece of Designer Series paper, creating light rays. Sponge ink onto the paper and remove your mask.
3. Randomly stamp the grass image onto card stock. Attach the sponged paper to the right of the card stock.
4. Use cut both edges of a narrow strip of card stock using the Adorning Accents Die. Attach to card stock.
5. Wrap Ribbon around card stock tying a knot in the front. Mount the card stock onto a White square of card stock and then onto the card front.
6. Stamp the Gnome image. Color with Stampin’ Write Markers. Punch out using the Circle punch and attach to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
7. Stamp greeting. Cut into a thin banner, trimming “v”s into each end.
8. Use a Dimensional in the center of the banner and attach to card pressing ends down to get a wavy look to the banner.
