No Place Like Gnome

Hello lovelies - hope we are all OK today and that nobody has been too badly affected by these dreadful floods.

So I'm sharing my sweet Polkadoodles Gnome Is Where The Heart Is card today - I think I mentioned it yesterday.

 I cannot tell you how much I love these images :) 

And I LOVE colouring them - I could do this all day.

I coloured her with quite a few Copics and then went over a few places with my polychromos pencils.

I actually remembered to write down the pens I used and they were - 

Skin - E000, E00, E11, E13, E50 R00, R05

Clothes & shoes - C00, C0, C3, C4, C5, C9, R00, R05, R17, R27, R59

Flowers -  Y03, Y08

Plantpot -  E000, E13, YR00 YR20

Grass -  YG00, YG03, YG95

Grounding C00, C1

I might have got the colours mixed up for the plant pot - I'll have to check!!

I stamped out the heart from the set then coloured it with R27 and cut it out. Then I covered it with Tonic Studios Crystal Glaze before adding some Posca Pen dots. 

I also gave her a Posca Pen polka dot hat and ribbons because I like her to match!!

That's rather good alliteration there!!

And you'll notice that the gingham ribbon is back :)

Didn't take long did it lol.

I stamped out the flowers then cut them out (badly - I am rubbish at cutting out)  and then doused them with glitter. I also added glitter to the flowers on the actual image.

I shouldn't have favourites, but ....

Right I better be off. 

I'll be back tomorrow with some Easter goodies and some very bright and zingy colours. 

I thought it would cheer us all up a bit.

I'll add my affiliate links below and I'll see you then. 

Take care and stay safe and well xx

Gnome Is Where The Heart Is

 

A Very Happy Accident (of sorts) - I LOVE This. And Not A Ribbon In Sight!!

Hello lovelies and hope you are all OK. 

It's been a day of really bad weather here. Like REALLY bad.

The lane is flooding from both directions and guess where it meets?

 Right outside out house. 

Luckily the house is on a bit of a slope which isn't great in the snow and ice but I guess it's handy if it floods. Oh hang on a sec, it's snowing as well!! Just as well we are all grounded!!

So anyway, I had a spare butterfly on my desk after the cards from the last 3 days. 

I also had  a square of card which I was going to turn into a striped border to go behind the hedgie but I did it wrong and nearly chucked it but didn't.  

So I die cut a circle and put the butterfly on it and tried it over the square.  I thought it looked nice. 

But the circle was a bit plain.   

I'd been colouring a sweet gnome from this set  ...

.. which is the Polkadoodles Gnome is Where The Heart Is set.

 Swooooon.  

I'll share that card tomorrow. 

I really like that spotty heart stamp so I made a little border and put it across the circle to break it up.

And as I had the Perfect Wishes stamps still out (I do put stuff away, honestly ... just not straight away), I used one of the sentiments from there 

I also added three little bits of sparkle. 

I was ever so pleased with how it turned out. 

So it's a happy accident because if I hadn't made a mess of the square, or thrown it away, I wouldn't have made this card.

This card is a rare thing on 2 counts. -  

1. It is actually for somebody and will be with them shortly.

2. It seems perfect for a bit of the old gingham bad boy, but I resisted the urge and I'm glad I did because it might have spoilt it 

Right I better be off. I'll be back tomorrow with my gnome card.

I love them, I really do. and this one is a pleasure to colour.

So until then, stay safe and warm and dry and take care xxx
