I’m submitting my homework for the Snippets Playground Challenge HERE
It’s a Christmas theme this time, so a chance to play with a new set, Kindest Gnomes,
You can also get coordinating dies and papers.
I used snippets of white card, that I coloured with Stampin’ Blends,
His boots and trousers, with lace embossed detail,
Toadstools and grass,
Nose and beard……..
Can you tell the beard is also cut from…….paper towels!
I folded a paper towel on top of a snippet of white card for strength,
and you can really see the detail….if you wet it (wink of Stella here) it bubbles up more.
I used white pen for toadstool highlights (defo need more practice!)
His hat was from a snippet of blue card.
Added a few enamel dots, used one of the lovely papers in the set as background.
This is the first gnome I have ever built, and the first gnome set ever used,
So I think this qualifies for the NBUS challenge too, for never before used stuff HERE

Your Gnomes are such fun Lesley, I think they always make such a cheery card and raise a smile.

A super fun gnome card and what a brilliant idea for making the beard look more realistic, something I must try
