When you love Gnomes, what is better than getting a Gnome Birthday card? Well how about getting a Gnome Birthday card that a family member drew the image!
That's right - I colored and made this card for my dear friend Linda, but Jo Ann Stapleton drew this cute gnome.
For this card I lightened the image slightly, he was done in Sepia tones, and printed him on Neenah 110# cardstock. I used my Copic markers for coloring, which of course is the fun part! He's matted in solid red and I also cut two additional 1/2" strips 5 1/2" wide. At this point I added a small metal 'Happy Birthday' tag, secured with a brad, to the basket of apples. I matched one of the light teal dots on the dotted background paper to make the top fold card base. After securing the multi colored dotted paper, I added the horizontal strips, and then tilted the colored image securing it to complete the card.
Thank you for stopping by today to view my blog. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to “Follow” my blog and to visit my site ~ “Not Just Scraps” on Facebook ~ where you can purchase my cards.
