So many gnomes

Hi all I have been really busy lately with my Virtual events that I haven't had time to do any challenges. 

One of my favourite challenge sites AAA Card Challenges (CAS) has a really cool challenge this week which I wanted to do. 

It's a cutie one where we only use 1/9th of our card and the other item needed is a "gnome", I only have 3 gnome sets and only one of the sets has smaller gnomes. So it was time to bring out my Hanging out with my Gnomies by MFT Stamps again.

Now others have beaten me to using some of the gnomes from this set so I thought it's time for a lady gnome. 

I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah #80 paper. Then restamped her image on some masking paper, snipped out and then masked her, so I could stamp what I think looks like delphinium flowers behind her. I have coloured with my Copics and I decided after I stuck my top layer down that her hair was a bit "too blonde". I didn't want to add a few more darker strands in case I got bleed behind that was visible so I added a bit more definition with a brown Prismacolour pencil. I have also added 3 tiny drops of Snowflakes Pop O' Colour (SBC) to the flower centres. 

Now if you want to see some squealing cute gnomies (I may have more than 3 sets soon), make sure you check out the DT cards and the other entrants. Link to challenge HERE.

The wee sentiment came from an old Simon Says Stamp monthly kit called Look for the Rainbows. I thought it was just perfect for the image and it was the right size too.

Yellows: Y000/13/15 and E35
Hair: E50/53/55

Skin: E0000/000/11 and R20

Thanks for popping in and I hope you can whip up a cute gnome card. This is an easy challenge as the space you have to stamp in is 1/9th so can't get too carried away.
