Valentine’s Day Gnomes

I created this card using a design from the Silhouette Design Store, a Fiskars Heart punch, and a Crazy Talk sentiment stamp. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours!!!

My love for fairies started when I began to design fairy gardens. That love evolved to include mermaids, next came dragons…how could gnomes not be that far behind!

After cutting out the pieces of the design with my Cameo 4, I positioned the pieces loosely (without gluing them yet) on the white cardstock. I noticed that the gnomes’ beards disappeared against the white background, so I used a Copic C0 marker to outline them.

The pieces were attached to the cardstock with Scor-Tape and Multi Medium Matte as the adhesives. To make the gnomes appear grounded, I attached a scrap piece, with the stamped sentiment, under their feet. I used a Fiskars heart punch, and another scrap piece, to create the teal-blue hearts and anchored them with Scor-Tape.

To finish the card, I attached the white cardstock to the red cardstock base.

How could you not love these little guys if they showed up at your door on Valentine’s Day!
