Birthday Gnome

A quick post today sharing a card I made a few weeks ago...


 I've used Hanging with my Gnomies from MFT aswell as the Happy Birthday circle die.


The gnome has been coloured with my Prisma pencils using only greys.

I wanted him to look like he was casting a Happy Birthday rainbow from his outstretched arms.

The die has been coloured with glitter gel pens and the middle has been embossed with a wood grain folder and popped back in.

To finish off I coloured a few pearls with a black sharpie pen.

  1. What a fun card Claire, the grey gnome does look like he's thrown out a birthday rainbow! He's beautifully coloured and I love the colourful round sentiment. (Seize the Birthday has an anything goes birthday option too if he wanted to visit the gallery there!) Cathy x

  5. Your card is stunning as always. Thanks for visiting my bog yesterday, I switched from Blogger to Wordpress (more to Insta, but I keep the blog) and Google is a pain in the butt to route the traffic through. So you are 100% right to blame Google :D Hope everything is well in these uncertain times.
