I'm really trying to squeak in some crafting time here and there. This card features the fun stamp set, BB You Gnome Me:
The gnomes were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and colored with Copics. I ink blended the background with DI Mermaid Lagoon and Mowed Lawn. I cut the openings on the Silhouette and popped it up with fun foam. The papers are PTI and the card base is Paper Studios. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, heat embossed in white. The yellow twine is from Hobby Lobby.
Here's a couple of profiles to show the dimension:
I'd like to share this in the current MFT sketch challenge 240. This is my first time joining in a MFT challenge, and I'm so excited to play along!
Thanks so much for coming over to visit. I hope you are having a wonderful start to your week!
