Garden Gnome Birthday Card

MFP Simple Salutation Challenge #7 Garden, non-flower.


Used Mark's Finest Paper's Garden Art stamps. Colored the digi with Crayola pencil colors using colors similar to the ceramic Gnome. Hand cut the stamp out. Used Spellbinders for layer behind the stamped Gnome & for sentiment tag. Used Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge for the Bee border at bototm of card. Embellished with glitter (Sunflower center), ribbon & rick rack.

Photographed outside with a Gnome I was gifted when I
was younger by a neighbor boy that painted it. He gave me 2 Gnomes. I keep them inside but figured it would make for a neat photo opp outdoors.
