More Gnomes to rehome

Hi there, sharing a couple more Kindest Gnomes, using the cute papers 

Embossed the background...

.........hoping it's ok for the "Autumn" Snippets Playground Challenge

Used some snowflake paper brrrrr...

Below right I shared earlier, but wanted to share a tip...

I fussy cut the mountain range, then raised it up on snippets of card,

instead of using foam pads.......a great way to use those scraps and save money!

As I've used snippets, I'm entering the Snippets Challenge, #440

with an optional theme of  Autumn / Halloween.

Have a great day

One sheet wonder for Rudolph

Rudolph Day Challenge comes around so quickly,

so here's a quick idea to build your stash using a one sheet wonder like I did HERE.

Then cut into four panels, mounted onto card blanks with some twine and a sentiment.

I had to add some Xmas bling with gems from my stash ;)

One Sheet Wonder

Here's a quick and simple idea to make at least four cards.

l was inspired by Emma Goddard, who recommended leaving some white space,

so not filling all of your A4 sheet with stamping. 

She also added some "splats"....lots of stamps provide this for you,

making it easier to position.

Hopefully above, you can see the difference it makes?

Here's the four simple cards...

Caroling Mice

 Hi there

Today’s card is using Caroling Mice.

This is a cute group of carol singers, which I coloured using watercolour pencils.

I went around the edge of them all with pale blue, and a bit of “glow” with yellow.

I wanted a few music notes, but wanted them to be subtle, so used blue ink.

I hope you can hear them singing!

The funeral for our late Queen Elizabeth was incredibly moving,

filling our hearts with sadness, love, hope, and pride.

The singing of the choir and congregation almost lifted the roof.

I know my little choir can’t do that, but hope they make you smile :)

CAS Aspen Trees

 Here’s a couple of simple cards I made some time ago, 

using Aspen Tree Dies, and some old background papers.

The beauty of this die is it creates the oval as well as cutting the trees.

I added a simple sentiment

Then a simple die cut deer in gold

I made another just using different paper and sentiment.

That’s another two for the box

Mum's Hues of Happiness

 Last of the recent double frame idea, this one's a bigger A5 card

for a special Lady, Alan's Mum.

She loves flowers, especially roses.

I used the internet to find a couple of verses,

using one as the focal point.

I never tire of this pretty paper. I added some gems for sparkle.

Inside....

I was tempted to add some flowers top left for balance, but it seemed too much?

Did you spot the mistake?........my frame is offset / not evenly placed.....

but it was too late, as it took me a while and ran out of time!

Let's hope she doesn't notice :)
