Happy Birthday (Pawsome Stamps) Gnomie

Hi crafty friends! I’m super excited to be on the blog today with a fun birthday card featuring the newly released Gnomie Stamp and Die set. Speaking of birthdays, this month, PawsomeStamps is celebrating 2 years. Keep reading for more details and a celebratory sale.

 As always, I stamp out the images, then use my Copic Markers to color everything in.

After coloring, I used the coordinating dies to die-cut the images out and began working on the background.

 

For this card, I ink blended a piece of smooth cardstock with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide ink at the bottom, Wilted Violet Distress Oxide ink in the middle towards the top portion of the panel, and Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink at the top edges. Next, I added white paint splatters to the panel and set it aside to dry.

While the background was drying, I trimmed a piece of green cardstock, inked the edges with Pine Needles Distress ink, then stamped the sentiment at the bottom of the panel.

 

I felt like the card needed a contrasting element to break the purple apart, so I opted for a white scalloped frame that is slightly smaller than the A2-sized panel.

 

Once all of the elements were ready, I adhered the images using either liquid adhesive or foam adhesive and added the frame to finish my card.
