CAS COLOURS & SKETCHES #449 (Colour)

Hi there Crafty Friends. I'm here with a card for the second last CC&S Challenge for 2021.  Patricia is hosting and gave us some pretty colours, which I've used for a Christmas card.

I stamped and clear embossed. the Gnome, colouring with Zig Markers. 

I then stamped the trees for a CAS background, adding a bit of grey wash. to anchor the images. To finish I stamped the sentiment. 

Stamps: Apple Blossom Gnome for Christmas; WPlus9 sentiment

sorry I forget name of tree stamps 

I would love for you to visit our blog to see what the rest of the team have created and will feel inspired to join us in the challenge.

Girl Gnome

 Hi there. Just as quick post. 

The optional twist at AAA Cards Challenge is Gnome.  The only Gnome stamp set I own is the Apple Blossom, which I've used a lot. Hover, I've never used the Girl Gnome as I've found it a bit challenging due to it being a solid stamp. But I decided to try again and this is the result...

I stamped the whole image with light pink and then went over the hair with a Sepia Copic pen. Next I coloured the hair, shoes, dress and face with Copic markers. I then added highlights with a pink Fineliner.

The sentiment was stamped with Karin Markers.

More Snowy Christmas Cards

When I say the sketch at 52 Christmas Countdown, I knew it would be fun to use a gnome.

I sponged Distress Oxide and Distress Ink Faded Jeans on the background and splattered water and White Gouache.  Next I stamped the trees. The gnome was coloured with Zig Markers. 

Stamps: Penny Black Prancer; Apple Blossom Christmas Gnomes
