A great technique this week to make a fun background for this fun gnome!
Actually, I made two backgrounds and cut them up for the sketch. And I went a bit rogue at the end. Dina says to stamp defined outline stamps and then splatter with water for a distressed look. I decided that my snowflakes needed to be glittery, so I stamped with Versafine and embossed with glitter EP.
My card is up on my blog: The Stamping Actuary and on The Cat's Pajamas Blog for the Gnovember release. Such fun digis!

You are so so good at the whimsy, you always make me want to be more whimsical but I just don't do it well. Too serious. I love this, it makes me smile and laugh and thanks for doing the technique. That makes me especially happy.

Colorful and fun Christmas card with the cute gnome with the Christmas tree hat, Jen. I imagine the snowflakes really sparkle IRL. Pretty color combo in the bg and squares.
