Video: Three Easy Christmas Cards-Cooler Than a Gift by Ocean Spice
Of course, I made a scene with my gnome running around in the snow. I used three die cut Christmas trees on which I placed one red ornament and a star.
I colored the star with a gold pen. I don't know where the die cut star came from....just found it in a bag. I used my fan brush on his beard.
The reason for the little red ornament is this story:
I was walking in the park one day and on the trail is a wooded area. That is where I noticed someone had placed one red ornament on a tree. I liked it and thought I would do that on my card.
My sky is made by using cling wrap crumpled up and dabbing in the purple and blue ink that has a tiny bit of water, then pressed to my card.
I made a snowbank template and sponged the snow on the ground. I did have a bit of falling snow I made with a brush and Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White.

I so agree with Stacy. This guy is a showstopper with the amazing hat and all the surrounding winter elements. Like the idea about the red bauble on the tree. One thing is missing on this original painting ...your signature. Fav'd TFS

Such a cute card Benz. Was thinking about you and thought I'd check to see of you're still posting. I moved last year about 30 minutes from where I was. Take care. Miss you.
