Hey There!!! Welcome Back!!! :) Day three showcasing the newest released stamp sets from MFPaHC. GARDEN ART. I have to admit... I SQUEALED loudly when I saw these babies in my mail. I am a Gnome junkie. But not just any gnome. Those eyes can not be beady and the nose can not be pointy...THIS little guy... perfection!!!! I LOVE him. He looks exactly like my dearly departed Garden Gnome that I used to have in a garden way back when. It amazes me that he disintegrated with all the rain we have, sidewalks don't!!! :( anyway... here is card one...
The I {heart} Gnomes was stamped repeatedly with yellow ink and then mounted onto yellow CS; yellow ribbon and twine wrapped around it. The image has the identical matting and a natural button was added to the center of the flower with twine tied in the bow! Perfection... LOVE!!!!

My next card is showcasing some cuties included in this set. Frogs & Stools! I stamped the frog onto plain paper and cut it out for a mask. I stamped the frog onto my CS and then laid down the mask and then stamped the toad stools over the top. tee hee.. he's grippin on pretty tight to the toadstool. Now I detest Mushrooms so I made these happy toadstools and colored them purple and added a bit of glitter pen to the underside of them. The frog has 4 coats of clear gel pen. :) "Happy" DP from MME and some ribbon completes this card!

Cute cards. Love the frog hanging on the mushroom.
ReplyDeleteTwo cute cards, KelliJo. I love the background you created for your gnome card.
ReplyDeletethese are 2 fab cards KelliJo-love how bright and cheerful they are-I agree with you about the gnomes-dont like beady eyes and pointy nose-this one is cute and you turned him into a great card
ReplyDeleteSuper cards today! Love the button and thread for the flower center on the gnome card.
ReplyDeleteSuper duper cute gnome card! Lol. He makes me laugh!
ReplyDeleteLike the sunny colors. Especially like the twine used. Like the coloring & whimsy to this stamp set. When I think of gnomes I think of the statue one a friend painted for me & gave to me when I was younger and I still have it.

Love the gnome card and the background paper you made.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice cards and cute characters. TFS
ReplyDeleteKelliJo,
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards!! I love frogs - and my very favorite garden ornament frog was a cutie - he had a black top hat and cane and he was on his hind legs in a dance pose - but some sorry X90& stole him!! The disintegration of your favorite gnome brought back my sad story too! Adorable cards!
Wow KelliJo!!! These cards are fabulous! But the little toad hugging the toadstools is amazing!!! Great job!!!!! TFS
