I love Gnomes - and when I found this stamp and Die set from 'Lawn Fawn' - I fell in love! Over the past few months there have been a lot of family and friends moving into new homes - so this was perfect!

Here are some of the tools and products I used -

• Lawn Fawn stamps and Dies - 'gnome sweet gnome'
• Lawn Fawn Dies - 'meadow borders'
• Cuttlebug
• Mini Dragonfly punch
• ​Memento Black ink (doesn't bleed with Copic Markers)
• Copic Markers
• Wink of Stella
• Distress Ink & Blending tool

I started by stamping out lots of Gnomes, Mushrooms and Flamingos - I knew I wanted to make quite a few cards and also needed to experiment with my colour blending. ​
And then I started to colour.....​

After coloring all my elements with 'COPIC markers' I used tumbled glass 'Distress ink' to create a background that looked like sky, it didn't have to cover the whole background because there was layered grass for the bottom.
I used my Cuttlebug to die cut the Gnomes, Mushrooms and Flamingos, the smaller mushrooms and birds did not have dies so I had to fussy cut these with scissors. I also die cut some grassy hills using 'Lawn Fawn' meadow borders dies and then punched some mini dragonflys.
​I stamped the sentiment and coloured the dragonfly's with 'Wink of Stella' - it all looks so cute!

I then layered them all together creating a scene - some areas I popped up with double sided tape for added dimension​. I love all the different coloured hats - the cards turned out perfect!

I have sent all of these out now so I am looking forward to making a few more.
​Thanks for visiting NICS :)
