Smiles Across The Miles - Designer Creative Challenge!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for joining me on my blog!  Today I have this super adorable card to share with you using the Gnomie stamp set!  I'm sure this card would put a smile on someone's face because those images are just the cutest!

I had these super sweet images already coloured in my stash (they were coloured with copic markers) so I pulled them out and created a cute scene for them.  

I used distress inks in

* Chipped Sapphire

* Blueprint Sketch

* Shaded Lilac 

to shade the sky in a gradual gradient (darker at the top, lighter toward the ground).  Once the background was dry I then used the Star Galaxy Stencil and spread some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone over the top to add depth and glitz to the sky.  I left the glitter paste to dry overnight.

My grassy border was cut using the die from Outdoor Landscapes 2 from some plain white cardstock and inked up with Evergreen Bough distress ink. 

Once I had all my pieces ready I decided to cut a frame using the largest frame from the Inside Scalloped Rectangle Dies.  I placed my grassy border behind the frame with Nuvo Glue and then adhered the frame to my background panel.  I then used the same glue to adhere my coloured images and secure the whole panel to an A2 white cardbase.

I used a sentiment from the Stars and Wishes stamp set and I stamped this in Onyx Black Versamark Ink.  

I hope you enjoyed my card today and that it put a smile on your face!  Have a wonderful day!  xoxo
