Garden Art

Springtime makes many people think of gardening, but I'm not a gardener, so I think of gnomes! This gnome stamp set is by Marks Finest Papers, which is no longer in business. I stamped the grass with an old wood mounted stamp, and colored the image with watercolor pencils and alcohol markers. I also used a stacked layered technique which involved stamping the image, then using nested rectangle dies by Sizzix to cut it into 3 different layers. Once you stack them, it looks like a whole image. I've had this gnome stamp set for years so I'm happy to see that gnomes are a "thing" this year!

    That "triple time stamping" always makes such interesting cards. I love how yours turned out.

    That gnome stamp is so detailed; you almost never see their faces. You did a great job coloring the image!

    Thanks for joining us at Cut it Up for our Go Back in Time challenge!

    Such a fun card! I do remember lots of gnomes in gardens when I was a kid in the '70's! Funny how they are so popular in the crafting world now! Great design and wonderful texture in his background! Thanks for sharing with us at Cut It Up! ~Katrina
