Stamp of the month - Gnome couple - Larissa


Goodmorning, I am Larissa from Car-d-elicious and today I made a card for the monthly challenge from Gerda Steiner designs. This month you have to make a card with the image Gnome couple from Gerda Steiner designs. If you buy this image and make a card with it, you automatically get the image for next month for free.


I have coloured the image Gnome couple from Gerda Steiner designs with my Polychromos pencils and then I have fussy cut the image. I have die-cut the bottom of a piece of a white cardstock with the Stitched scallop basic edges 2 die-namics from My favorite things. I made background for the image with a black Derwent aquatone pencil and then I coloured the background with Tumbled glass distress ink.I tied a white ribbon around it. On a white card I adhered a piece of pink designer paper from the Sweet celebration paper pack from My favorite things and then I adhered the white cardstock with foamtape on the card. On the pink design paper I stamped a sentiment from the set Tiny type from Clearly besotted stamps. Then I decorated the card with crystal hotfix gems.

Wheek Wheek Wheek,

Hi, Its Hazel from Didos Designs here with a card Ive made using the super cute Wheek Wheek Wheek Guinea Pig Stamp set. 

For this card I randomly stamped the lettuce and cucumber on a piece of card and coloured them with promarkers.  Next I fussy cut the wee Guinea Pig out and colored him in with promarkers as well.  Finally matted the card up and added the sentiment to the top. 

Thanks for dropping by today. 

The store is closed until the 6th while Gerda and Macy have a lovely break. 

Love Hazel x
