Hi friends!
GNOME matter what, you are special!
We are in the midst of some crazy times,
but hang in there!
I didn't realize when I cropped this picture that it says the words ...
Calm?
Me?
What?
LOL!
One of the highlights of my trip to Wisconsin in January 2018
was visiting the Creative Pals stamp store ~
home of Whipper Snapper Designs.
It was wall to wall F*U*N!
I came home with more stamps than clothes in my luggage but shhhhh ...
don't tell anyone :)
I recently placed an order last week 'just because'
and added some long wished for stamps to my collection - like this one!
I absolutely adore Gnorbitt and think he might be my favorite gnome!
I usually color primarily with prismacolor markers
so I'm still learning how to use my copic markers to blend and layer.
I also used the 'leave some white space' that I learned in Kathy Rac's
online creative classroom and have to say - I like it!
It gives it a little more depth - and character :)
I've actually stamped him several times for the Daily Marker 30 Day
coloring challenge and will eventually color him again and make more cards.
For now, this is card #2 using the same 6 x 6 designer paper sheet
in my quest to use that one sheet in a creative way.
The first card was this one from Saturday!
Gnome matter what - keep calm!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
