Gnome Sweet Gnome

This is my FAVORITE card I have made lately. This little Gnome from Freshly Picked is so stinkin' cute!!! I took the shadow image of the Gnome and welded two of them together using my Gypsy. All I did was just copy the shadow image, flipped it upside down. Then I used Emma's tip from Creative Time for Me and added a rectangle from George and basic shapes. This just add a little stability to the are where you will fold the card, that explains why the top of the card is not EXACTLY the shape of the Gnome's hat. Finally I welded all three shapes (the two shadows and the little rectangle) with my Gypsy - easy peasy! :o) I love shaped cards!



I did use my tweezers on this card a lot for the eyes, nose and little buckle. I doodled on the gnome and on the shadow for some depth - LOVE IT! I also used my chalks to pink up his cheeks. Finally I added stickles to his belt buckle for some COOL BLING. Next time I cut this little guy I am going to run his hair and beard through my Cuttlebug for some added texture - won't that be SUPER CUTE???

Supplies:
Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge (Gnome p. 37)
White CS by Georgia Pacific
Black CS by the Paper Studio
Tan CS by C.T.M.H.
Hippie Chic Mat Stacks D.C.W.V.
Grass Green Recycled Mat Pad by K & Co.

    Hi Lori, I read your comment on the making memories blog about your kid being a furry one...What dog is going to allow you to dress it as a dragon? lol
    My ex DIL has dachounds, and she's always talking about dressing them up. Anyway, I came to check out your blog and I love your gnome card. I don't have Design Studio, but I think I'm going to make a dino or HKitty and put it on front of a regular card. My boys are all grown up even my grandsons. So I think I'm going to start taking pix of the neighborhood kids, so I can make a halloween page or two each year.
    I'll be back, Thanks for sharing your gnome!
