Gnomey Winter Wonderland Slimline Card

 Hello and welcome back to my YouTube channel and blog!  Today I am sharing a slimline card featuring a winter wonderland full of cute gnomes using stamps and dies from Mama Elephant.


To start with I ink blended a piece of light blue coloured card and starting at the top ink blended on some Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers.  I focused the majority of the colour at the top.  To darken the sky a little more I used Distress Ink in Blueprint Sketch and finally used a dye ink in Navy from Hero Arts.  

To add the falling snow I dotted on white dots using a white paint pen by Jane Davenport (link down in the supplies section).  Sometimes I just can't be dealing with the splatter clear up :) and this method is so super quick!

I used the Slim Woodland die by Mama Elephant to help build the scene.  I cut two from heavyweight white.  I trimmed the bottom section to just leave the snow banks and ink blended on some Peacock Feathers.  For the trees I used Distress Inks in Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.  

For the gnomes I used Little Gnome Agenda stamps and used the candy house from Cookie Christmas and coloured these with my copic markers as follows:

To add more interest to the card I coloured some holly sprigs from Snow Friends stamp set and some gift packages taken from Page Huggers stamp set.  To ensure they co-ordinated I used the same colours of copic markers.

On the trees I added some chunky glitter, I can't make a card without adding sparkle at this time of year! 

I trimmed down my blue ink blended panel so that it fit behind the woodland die cut and then adhered the snow banks on top.  I made a card base from heavy weight white card (I have a stash of these pre made....the card base measures 8.5" x 3.5") and secured the scene panel to the card base.

For the sentiment I used Mama Elephant's Jingle Greetings stamp set and used Versafine Onyx Black Ink to stamp this on to the card front.

To finish up the card I applied some Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen on to various parts of images and also accented certain elements with Glossy Accents....I love the dimension this gives.  I added a small clay heart to the gnomes sign.
