A5 Gnomes - Christmas Greetings

Good Morning

Alice here.  Hope you are all getting well prepared for Christmas.  Sorry about my picture today, it seems to be very light.  It is a much deeper shade in real life!  I used the A5 Gnomes Stamps for this and the small tree from the A5 Trees Stamp Set.  You can find all the stamps I used and many more on the Colourific Website



Materials Used:

A5 Gnomes
A5 Trees
11.5 x 21cm Kraft Card Blank
10.75 x 19.25cm Gold Mirri Mat
9.5 x 19cm Kraft Card Mat
Various colours of distress inks
Glitter Glue

  • Using a little piece of double sided tape I secured the smaller piece of kraft card centrally onto the card blank then secured these layers onto a Stamping Platform with magnets.
  • Stamped the Gnome with Vintage Photo Distress ink onto 9.5x19.25cm Kraft Card.  Leaving the card on the stamping platform  I Sprayed with water and let the dye seep outwards.  Used a paintbrush to bring it out a little further. 
  • Keeping the card still in place on the stamping platform, put some Vintage Photo Distress Ink and Green Dye ink onto glass mat. Using water and paint brush I painted the Gnome with muted colours of the inks.  When this was dry, I stamped over the image.
  • Still keeping the work on the Stamping Platform, I put a mask over the Gnome and used the small Christmas Tree to stamp a border around the 2 layers of card.
  • Remove from stamping platform and separate the 2 layers of card.  Mat the image onto the Gold mat, and using foam pads mount it onto the Kraft Card making sure the border of trees match up.
  • To finish off I added a Christmas Greeting layered onto a piece of gold mirri card. 
  • Used glitter glue for the pompom, beard and stars.
           Thank you for looking, and happy crafting.

Good Morning Monday again.  The weather here has been awful, rain, hail, snow, and sunshine all in the one day! Too wet and cold to go out...
